Joongel (www.joongel.com) is a meta-search-engine which allows you to search multiple resources within a particular category. At first the engine can seem a little cluttered and you will need the Flash plugin to use it, however you will quickly adapt and will never want to go back to plain and simple ‘one site at a time’ searching!

For example, i shall be moving to Eastleigh (If all goes well with a house viewing) when I start IBM so naturally i wanted to research the area! Google (quick stat: used by 65% of people) was my first choice and returned map information, a wiki and a couple of Eastleigh based shops. Using Joongel under a general search i managed to return the same results from Google, videos about the area, blog posts and Flikr results – just a small selection of its features!

You can specify what you want the engine to search for, for example if your looking for a torrent you simply specify ‘Torrent’ as a type – You can even specify ‘Cooking’ as a major category (No more dodgy results when you Google ‘ how to achieve the perfect roast’ “)

In conclusion: Time saving tool for those who are doing specific searches. Cons: Not as fast as Google to return results.

Note: allthough not being online long the site has had nearly a hundred unique visits which isn’t bad considering there’s nothing on here overly interesting! (and if tyou are one of the few returning visitors the site says i have, feel free to sign up for updates!)
