    Twing - Search and Discover Communities

    Link: Twing "aims to be the most comprehensive and highly targeted forum search engine for real people seeking real discussions and real information in real time. And of course, the information we index - content-rich discussions in numerous forums worldwide - is provided by real people. As a result, what Twing offers that traditional search engines don't is the ability to more completely identify important information in the deep discussions enabled by the many-to-many communication format of forums."

    I've played around with it, and it's not at all bad. Lots of results, which can be arranged by date or relevance. I would like to see an indication of which and how many forums Twing searches - that information may be available on the site but I couldn't see it. Nice option to limit results with additional terms, categories, filters (forum, people, company, language, media) and a date range.

    Worth taking a look at if you're having difficulty getting the information you need elsewhere.

    Hey Phil,
    Did you check out Omgili lately? IMHO much more comprehensive.
    Many more results and sub domains...
