Mahalo is a human-powered search engine which creates organized, comprehensive, and spam free search results for the most popular search terms. Which in fact are created by people, All user submitted links to Mahalo are examined by Mahalo's Guides to make sure that they meet their requirements for inclusion on the page.

The best part is that anyone can add links and suggested search results.  If the links pass the test, they are added to a category with your name as the contributor.  If they don't meet the standards, they still remain on that page under User Recommended Links.

You can even earn money by signing up for Mahalo Greenhouse and creating great search pages.  If the page is accepted, you get paid.

Some of the benefits of using Mahalo:

• People who use Mahalo often find great links that they'd never discovered with traditional search engines. The comprehensive result pages also offer great related links that you may not have thought to look for.
• Every Mahalo link is great, you can spend your time enjoying great new content instead of looking for it.
• Search results for certain categories, such as products, travel, cars, and health, are cluttered with people selling things, making it difficult to find great information on those topics. They focus on those topics and provide organized results that offer great links for every type of info you could need.

Here is a look at a typical page. I searched for Henna:


I love the guide notes and the ability to tag and bookmark with the Share this Page area.  Which leads to the four subscriptions...Facebook, Ma.gnolia, De.licio.us and Stumbleupon.  More about them later.

Needless to say, it is great to get to some great content without the long filtering time through the ads.
