    You have missed two big alternatives in Russia:
    - http://www.nigma.ru/ – a clustering metasearch engine with it own search index to merge with results of main search engines.
    - http://www.webalta.ru/ , http://www.webalta.com/ – Yet another Russian search engine start-up. The main problem: it have no any innovation idea behind it.
