Search with Meaning

Oingo calls itself the Internet's first meaning-based search engine. The way it works is that Oingo looks at the meaning of your search criteria to bring up the most relevant results. Upon entering a phrase to search, Oingo gives you an opportunity to refine your results (similar to askjeeves, asking "Did you mean..."). Oingo also displays its first few results in 3 categories--strong, medium, and weak. Oingo uses Dmoz.com and Alta Vista for its search results. Also, since it's still in beta, they give you an opportunity to comment on the success of your search. So, if you want to put some meaning into your searches, try Oingo.
