Today, we look at yet another new “niche” search engine, thise time revolving around Omgili.com which plans to create a search engine that looks for specific content-rich returns for its users.

The engine will scour forums and websites for knowledge rich returns based on what you are looking for. It will also connect you to other users who are searching for the same thing.

Site creator Ran Geva notes “I came up with the idea for Omgili from the need to find a better way to search for knowledge in the world of discussions and opinions.” He goes on to add “Usually making a search on Google/Yahoo/MSN will return about the same type of results, [but] using Omgili you find relevant results but from users like you and me.”

I took a few test runs on the site, and was mixed on my feelings with the returns. On a more generic subject search, the top few sites returned were forums and sites that I often frequent related to the topics at hand. But when I got down to some more specific searches, and utilized quotes, I hardly got anything back on what I was looking for, while I know that google or yahoo would have given me exactly what I was looking for.

It is possible that Omgili.com’s spiders and cachings programs have not yet fully digested the web, and that in time Mr. Geva’s plans will come to fruition. For now though, it is just another search engine clamoring for attention, and will most likely remain unheard over the roar of the Google and Yahoo monsters.
