A colleague of mine recently wrote an article discussing this issue, "On Kosmix and Needles in Haystacks," http://blog.helioid.com/articles/2009/01/16/on-kosmix-and-needles-in-haystacks/. It makes sense that Righthealth would give Kosmix more traction since in those situations people want a broad stroke.

But you should check out another search fledgling - NeXplore (www.NeXplore.com) NeXplore is fighting the same good fight to change the face of search, but is faring significantly better than Kosmix, Cuil, Viewzi, Mahalo, Searchme, Cooliris, etc. NeXplore traffic has been steadily climbing and is now in the neighborhood of 4M unique visitors/month. Don¹t take my word for it, check out NeXplore vs the others on Compete.com. Kudos to Kosmix for landing funding, and for its efforts to put a new face on search.
