Web’s Biggest Search Engine

The Web’s Biggest search engine (www.websbiggest.com) claims to search more websites than any other search engine. The wiki-based search engine also lets individual searchers modify everyones’ search results.

The company has even set up a random search page at http://www.websbiggest.com/randomsearch.html so the public can verify their claims.
