Still in beta testing but does inquisitor have potential to take on [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-search) and win? Whilst Google is great at delivering speedy results, - you type in a couple words, press Return and you get pages of results - Inquistor suggests search results as you type. Very useful.

You can also select from blog, social bookmark, ecommerce and regular search engines eg [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimasaurus), Digg, Flickr, Google, Technorati and [Yahoo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yahoo-scout)! - assuming it moves beyond Beta this list will certainly grow.
