This Search engine is not known to many people but it is a very nice engine. I have found in my searching with hotbot you can do content specific searches, for instance if you want it to return only web sites with pictures or movies there are options for you to click to make it behave this way.
My searches were lightning fast and all pages were usually relevant to what I was searching for. On top of all this if you do not get the hits you want with hotbot at the bottom of the search page it allows you to continue your search using other search engines. All in All I give this engine a 3 star rating
