DocMazy: a search engine dedicated to documents
DocMazy is a novel kind of search engine exclusively dedicated to finding documents. Instead of returning websites, it digs up PDFs, DOCs, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and text files. DocMazy was designed to find information that gets buried in other search engines because documents often don't score well in search engine algorithms, or aren't indexed by search engines at all.
Once you find the doc you're looking for, you can download it or view it online. DocMazy uses iPaper, which opens a preview without making you leave the results page. All in all, it's a pretty nice tool if you're looking for the kind of longer, more detailed information that often isn't published in its entirety on a webpage.

I input a search string and got back a page that looked normal except where the results were supposed to be which showed an error message with a yahoo search string for the United Kingdom and pdf filetype. Unless you're into that sort of thing, I'd move pretty far along.

I really liked it. It`s not the best thing for random/quick searchs, but if you are making a deep research into a topic (like for college or theses) it gives you some great documents, meanwhile google will probably give you wikipedia or something in that style.
Not for everyday, but a serious recomendation if you need to really know everything about a topic with a more academic approach.
