Do 'social' search engine exist?

I don't like using google. Enter what you are searchiung for and get 1million listed based on who is better at linking their sight rather than how relavent or good they are.

So......
“Social” search is search engine rankings based on approval ratings, not links - so if you’re good at what you do, you can get to the top of the ratings."""

Can you recommend any????

I think that was the idea behind Wikia Search (a search engine from the founder of Wikipedia), but that was a pretty unsuccessful experiment and has now been discontinued.

There are 'social bookmarking' sites such as Stumbleupon and Del.iciou.us, which allow you to discover content around your interests as recommended and reviewed by others, but they're not search engines as such.

I normally use our friend Google and type the word "review" at the end of my search keywords.

Have a look at www.vark.com ... its not quite what your after, but works really well - you bascially ask a question and it will go off to other members who have registered an interest in that topic and provide you with their opinion...

you can in turn register and answer questions about things you like/are knowledgeable about.

put parenthesis either side of your search phrase, like .. .. .. "search"
