This is a repost from earlier and no, I don’t think search engines are going the way of the dinosaur. This is more of a rant in the form of an anti ode and a way to call out search engines. Change is in the air and search engines have to change. Is Wikiseek the answer? I don’t know but you can bet someone will out google Google and we’ll be looking at a new way to find information on the web. What do you think?
Search engine, search Engine
Search engine,

Search engine,

All of those bad serps
from spammin’ and stuff
Search engine,

I think that as long as there will be the Web, we’ll need search engines. Or do you have another idea to help us find our way on the Net? How are we going to find relevant info if not by typing some keywords in a search box? Aaron Wall has some interesting thoughts on this very topic: http://www.seobook.com/archives/002015.shtml
Good points Mihaela, I agree and that’s why I said search engines have to change. They’ll always be there, they just have to change. That’s why seo will also have to change like Aaron said in the post you pointed out. A Wikiseek may or may not be the next generation.
