Google will probably give you the most extensive list anyway. Not a complete list of course (this would not be possible, even theoretically, whatever search engine you use), but quite extensive.Sure <img src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> , what I was hinting was the risk of falling in a logical fallacy of thinking that something only exists if it is found in google and that anything that is not found on google does not exist.
If a given site is returned by that google search and can be reached:
it exists
it contains (or contained until a short time before - check also google cache) the searched for link:
This does not mean in any way that a zillion other sites may exist and they are simply not indexed by google or indexed but not returned by that search.
Using several different search engines, whilst obviously creating mainly duplicates, may increase the number of unique hits, particularly for "regional" searches.
