Do we actually need advanced search. The filter bubble…. So professional searchers need to be able to get round this.
Blekko – no mention for advanced search on page. Some mention in Help at the bottom of the search screen in small letters.
No consistency – but seems to be moving from the cogwheel to the search -box triangle on front pages – and at the bottom of search results (although advanced search is still in the cogwheel for most side-bar options – not for videos, news & books)
Yandexsupplies results to DuckDuckGo and has financed Blekko.
