Million Short is a search engine that automatically removes the top 1 million hits (or 100k, 10k, 1000, or 100 according to your preference). The result is a surprisingly relevant list of resources you might otherwise never have discovered due to newness, lack of SEO, or poor keyword tagging. It levels the playing field for your average internet denizen who may have valuable things to say but wouldn’t ordinarily be able to compete with popular sites that often monopolize the first page.

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with the popular sites, this type of search might provide unique perspectives and new venues of information, especially for often-repeated queries or those with limited initial results.
