Katapulco.com - Multiple Engine Search by Shortcut

Katapulco is a search engine aggregator that allows you to select which engine you’d like to use depending on what you are searching for. A number of similar sites have appeared on the scene recently but Katapulco distinguishes itself by allowing you to select your engine by keyword. When you arrive at Katapulco.com, you will see a box to enter your query and another box next to it where you enter the one or two character shortcut for the engine of your choice. 70+ engines are listed on the right side of the page by category along with their corresponding keyword, making it simple to look up the keyword for your search. Search aggregators are being developed for a reason, and that is because different engines are better for different queries and Katapulco’s shortcut approach makes it one of the more convenient solutions on the scene.

“Don't use the mouse! Search using keyboard shortcuts with Katapulco!”

The listing of the 70+ engines is done in such a way as to make it simple to look up the engine and plug the shortcut into the bar. This is much easier than having to scroll through a list of different engines since everything you need is right in front of you. This could become a really popular site for any kind of search.

Is this type of new service going to be a blast in Social Networking? Will consolidated sites agree on being part of an integrated user-centric and less site-centric online community?
