Every Monday at AltSearchEngines we take a look at a particular search Vertical. 

Since we started on June 1st, 2007, we have examined the following Verticals:

Video Search, Music Search, Quotation Search, Charity Search, Blog Search, Mobile Search, Job Search,  and Health Search!

Today I want to visit RSS search engines, and what better way than to just ask them to find my RSS feed?  To simplify things, I just searched the one keyword ‘Altsearchengines.’  Pretty straightforward, so let’s get right to it.

RSSMicro found me right away, and this feed was only 1 hour ago! 

Feedster has the post that I just did yesterday.  Excellent.

  FeedPlex didn’t find me, but had some very interesting advice!  Try adultsearchengine?

  feedzie.com - no luck (unless I goofed).

  FeedMiner.  Ditto, no results.

  searchfeedr pulls together a combined interface that allows users to enter the source (a web feed URL, a page URL, or a del.icio.us username/tag combination) into one text box, and the search terms into another. I used Yahoo! and came back with 388,000 matches from Read/WriteWeb.  Thanks, Richard!


 

  SearchRSS.  Nope.

  feed24.  Uh-uh.

  DayPop  uncovered a few interesting finds.  The Stark County Law Library Blog cached me yesterday.  Have I finally “arrived?”

  Bloglines.  Just featured at Read/WriteWeb

Bull’s eye! 

  Feeds2.0 Yep, this is #11.  Feeds2.0 is still in private beta, so I signed up to be a beta tester.

If you were searching for an RSS feed, would you use one of these alternative search engines?  If so, which one?  If not, who did we miss?
