Thanks to Google Blogoscoped I've been exploring the Mozbot search engine while brushing up my rudimentary knowledge of French. A few unusual features distinguish Mozbot: users can blacklist individual search results so they will never appear again; individual results can be emailed; and in addition to the standard Google-inspired caching feature there is a link to the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive. Fabulous! I use the Wayback Machine on special occasions; having it one click away from every search result is brilliant. Note to Google: Follow this lead. Get friendly with the internet Archive.
Mozbot Goes Beyond Caching; Why Doesn't Google?

Apparently you didn't brush up on enough French. At the bottom of Mozbot's page it says the following:
"Version B? 1.0 - © Abondance, Brioude-Internet et Raynette en partenariat avec Google"

1. If you're using Firefox you can download the CustomizeGoogle plugin: CustomizeGoogle lets users blacklist individual search results within Google. Lists can also be shared between users.
