Snap has come back into the race with a new interface and also a nifty new search engine. While I don't think it will win any following as of yet, it really is quite easy to use and may in fact beat out www.live.com (MSN's offering) without much difficulty. There are far less bugs and with a couple more features added to Snap.com, the search engine might be a serious contender.
Definately check Snap's search engine out, I had fun testing several searches and using the in-browser, browser, lol. There in fact seems to already be a way to "suggest" a website without them actually having any link to it... As a matter of fact, it looks as if Snap uses an ASK.com approach - Using results that it spiders without recommended URL's then if they exist in the database and someone searches on those sites that aren't yet popular, it votes it into caching a thumbnail and other relevant visual and textual info.
The inlaid browser that displays a thumbnail and information regarding that site being looked at, makes Snap's search engine easy to use for comparing result descriptions with actual page content, making the life of a search that much more short and efficient.
Now it's up to the test of time and feedback from users to see how Snap is regarded when compared to top-tiered and even second-tiered web search engines.
