I’ve just launched an early public beta of SocialSearchr.  Using a combination of Google AJAX Search and the newly released Google Custom Search the site aims to improve the quality of search results in various niche categories by including only results from specific, trusted sites. 

The first category to launch was recipe search, which only includes geniune, quality recipe sites such as the BBC Food site, Epicurious.com and others.  Other categories have followed, and each will be refined and improved over time using user feedback to hone results.

If you have any suggestions for new categories, please let me know.
