An ex-google employee has launched a new search engine after getting $33 million in venture capital funding. This site is touting more websites in their database then Google and is bragging a more sophisticated search platform that adds new layers of search besides the obvious keywords. Started by Tom Costello and his wife, the site has been gaining a lot of attention due to this sorting functionality.
