FindHow

The How-To Search Engine From the website: "Today, consumers can instead find a dizzying variety of instructions for many everyday tasks on the Internet, at a myriad of useful sites. Unfortunately, many site owners create massive amounts of relatively poor-quality How-To content, in the hope that it will be automatically indexed by the major search engines. As a result, consumers must increasingly wade through vast numbers of irrelevant search results and content of questionable quality in order to find How-Tos they can trust to succeed in their objectives.

FindHow, the How-To search engine, brings trust back into the equation by focusing on indexing only high-quality How-To's, typically from well-known, recognized brand names or individuals. Many of these sources (often companies, government entities, or educational institutions) have other motives for providing information besides pure profits, and most have trusted, off-line brand name reputations to protect - which encourages them to focus on providing trustworthy and high-quality information"

The site tends towards the practical - there is a lot on it at the moment about preparing for summer. A concern is that it's very heavily biased towards the United States, which may well mean that some of the 'how to's' are not going to be so appropriate for the rest of the world. However, it's an interesting concept and if you're stuck and unsure how to land an F16 if the engine has flamed out on you, this is a site that you must visit!
