I finally won a Fandango pass the other day, so it does work. The search results ostensibly use a Google engine, but when doing the same search in both sites, Google shows better returns. However, what I get from Blingo is still comprehensive and I almost always find what I'm looking for there.

Amazon.com - music, Powell's Books, Scroogle, Dictionary.com, Wikipedia, Sourceforge, Food Network, NewEgg.com, and PirateBay. The last 2 I use rarely. Most of the others get used quite a bit.

It adds search links to Google competitors (among other things) and I find myself using it quite often. Another handy search resource.
