This is an example of the voting form for the 2002 Search Engine Watch Awards. The voting ran during January 2002.
Results can be found here. THIS FORM NO LONGER FUNCTIONS!
The Search Engine Watch Awards recognize the best in search over the past year. Reader votes greatly help Search Engine Watch's editors in deciding which search
engines deserve to win.
Want to make your voice heard? Then vote for your favorite search engines in various categories, using the form below.
Voting will be open to the general public between January 14 and January 17, 2003. When all votes are tallied, Search Engine Watch's editors will then make a final
decision as to what should win in each category. The winners are scheduled to be announced on January 28, 2003.
What if you don't see your favorite search engine listed? Then it unfortunately wasn't a finalist for this year's awards. Finalists were selected based on a first
round of voting by Search Engine Watch members and through choices made by Search Engine Watch's
editors.
You can learn more about the awards and see last year's winners in the Search Engine Watch Awards area of this
site.
To vote, use the drop-down boxes to pick a winner and a runner-up for each category. Optionally, you can also offer comments as to why you like the services you've
listed. Please vote only once. Your email address is required, if you wish to have your vote counted. We promise this will only be used to eliminate duplicate
votes.

Best Search Feature
In this category, you have the option to choose from one of the finalists
shown or alternatively "write-in" your own favorite search feature.
Please note that the Google Toolbar &
Google Cached Links are not among
the finalists since they both won in 2001. The features -- which are great! -- haven't changed from last year, so we'd like to recognize some new ones.
Either choose one of these finalists as the winner:
or "write-in" one not on the list here:
