PowerSet isn’t even available yet but it is already getting attention for the promise of using natural language searching instead of keywords.

Kosmix is a new player that offers instant sub-categories instead of just plain old search results.  Currently offering a limited number of categories.

Anoox encourages users to vote on the value and relevance of search engine results.

Riya is a visual search engine.  Instead of just searching keywords it will also search for images, or portions of images, that you upload.

We all have gotten used to using Google images.  Until I used Imagery I never realized that it could be done better.  Imagery takes the Google images search results and adds easily accessible preferences, tabbed browsing and a photo bucket with zoom tools.  

You'll need to install Firefox 1.5 (it won't work with Internet Explorer)  before you visit http://elzr.com/imagery/.
