[Corpora-List] Alternatives to the Bing search API

[Daniele Pighin]

Hi Eros,

The Blekko <http://blekko.com> search engine has a free (at least as in
"free beer", as far as I can say) search api (
http://www.quora.com/What-can-I-do-with-blekko-api), even though I am not
sure if that would fit your needs. I would have recommended
duckduckgo<http://duckduckgo.com> but
I am not sure whether it has a programmable API.

 Cheers,
  Daniele
