SearchEdu for Education

http://www.searchedu.com/ restricts its search to education sites. They say they have 20 million pages in their database and, like Google, SearchEdu keeps a copy of each indexed page in a cache so even if you can't connect to a site you can still see a result page. As you may know, AltaVista can also restrict searching to certain types of domains, so I decided to run a little test to see how the results varied when I searched SearchEdu.com, and when I searched AltaVista.com and restricted the search results to .edu domains.
