Exalead displays thumb nail previews of pages next to search results and has a fantastic advanced search. You can also refine your search results using related terms, multimedia (audio, video and RSS), language and file type. The related terms feature is particularly useful, allowing you to discover new content "by accident". More information is available from the Exalead FAQ page.
