A new search, for Science.

Pharyngula has a story about a new search engine from MnCSE - the Minnesota Citizens for Science Education.

The MnCSE Real Science Search Engine searches the whole web, just like Google, but omits several hundred noisy, ignorant, creationist sites. You can actually search for topics like "origin of life" or "dinosaur footprints" without being inundated by silliness from the Discovery Institute or Kent Hovind. It's like wiping the bugs off your windshield and suddenly being able to see.

The second one is really picky - the MnCSE Snow White Search Engine searches only educational and government sites. No commercialism or creationism allowed (this one is like removing the windshield).



It might be nice to be able to not have to dig the the trash to get the pearls.
