I have prepared a number of special purpose Custom Search Engines (CSEs) that try to avoid the usual mush of PC results with wikipedia always on top. They work by applying a white list of sites and filtering. Some members of this forum may find them useful:
All of them are hosted at Google co-op: (links at bottom of page): http://google.com/coop/profile?user=006126210861762737058
From the top down, they are:
PaleoBlend: http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=006126210861762737058%3Amfead8px690
Searches a mix of paleoconservative sites *if* you select one of the filters. There are several filters for various styles of politics (WN, paleo, libertarian/left). 'Anti' amounts to PC+Neocon, in effect. The 'esoterica' and 'technical' links, and 'feeds' refinement do not really work at the moment.
Founders' Curriculum:
http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=006126210861762737058%3Anm3lvfxnkoc
designed for finding homeschool curriculum and looking up highbrow references. E.g., if you search "Oliver Goldsmith" you will get the British Optical firm among your results. This will go away if you select "classical education". thephora.net is included in the search results, as is originaldissent.com.
If you select either 'Quadrivium' or 'DMA' (Disciplina, Memoria, Artes) you will the more esoteric or technical references. 'classical education' is the most general.
Find Latin:
http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=006126210861762737058%3Aqgsu9fofeeq
This last one is strictly for finding Latin texts online.
Eventually, the three CSEs will cascade from one to the the other so you can just start from PaleoBlend and drill down (via 'homeschooling') to the more curriculum-centered ones if you wish.
All the search engines are tagged and tracked at http://del.icio.us/macrobius/PaleoBlend which has an RSS feed if you want updates.
Please note that none of the search engines filter specially, unless you select one of the refinements offered.
