Million Short is an experimental web search engine (really, more of a discovery engine) that allows you to REMOVE the top million (or top 100k, 10k, 1k, 100) sites from the results set. We thought might be somewhat interesting to see what we'd find if we just removed an entire slice of the web.

The site is a search engine and also has instructions for installing the MillionShort search in your browser's search engine options. This is a great idea for Googling the unGoogled backwaters of the web.
