Not much to do here in these middle days so I spent a few hours, testing lots and lots of search-engines for the new year. Its amazing really how differant they all can be, even if you search by same, lets say relevance, popularity and DLs.

In using relevance and popularity (dls)  I found the most accurate to be. SS, DT, CS, FT, and DP,  they were also good with phrases and word combinations. :)

Interesting: earlier I happened to read something that said that DP had a fantastic search engine, so I hopped over there, never even having looked at that site before, and was underwhelmed; but mostly because I checked my usual natural history subjects, and many were either incorrectly or spammily keyworded, like most other non-specialist sites.

Yes, I guess you are talking about Bob's blog post (http://blog.picniche.com/) from a few days ago, cannot find it but I remember the agencies were Depositphotos and Pixmac

Don't think it was that one, it looked different. It was a blog, and I got there via Googling for something else entirely.
Let my check my history.
