An alternative to Google Scholar: <a href="http://academic.live.com/" rel="nofollow">Windows Live Academic Search</a> It has some limitations - a heavier interface, only works in IE/Firefox, and draws on far far fewer sources (and those mostly in computers and the hard sciences). However the results interface with presentation of abstracts is quite nice, and for those of us in digital media, the index of all the ACM journals alone will bring up a lot of satisfying results. There is a good <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-9239_7-6633356-1.html?tag=nl.e501" rel="nofollow">CNET review of Live Academic Search</a> with an evenhanded evaluation of strengths and weaknesses. No explanation of the ridiculous branding that extends the tag "Windows" name to a search portal. Thanks for the Clusty recommendation - I’ve been trying it out, and it is remarkably satisfying.

You can search characters, terms, works and so one. I'd like to see this as part of some search game. <a href="http://clusty.com/" target="_blank">Clusty</a> is my preferred search engine. I do use Google for some searches (comparative) though but Google Images, Google Video and Personalised Google I use quite alot. Clusty offers a Shakespeare Search that I find interesting too.
