Kaimbo Search
The Lowdown:
This is a free plugin that greatly enhances the search function for WordPress after installing it begins to build an index by indexing all your pages and looking for the information to make the search better. Right now the plugin is in beta stage and is free look like it will cost 10 errors when they start charging will see if it is worth it at that time.
After letting it do its index thing I came back to check it out and discovered it did not do a very good job searching after all and for some reason it swapped out my front page for a permanent search result page.

Do you have a membership site with great content and are afraid some of your users are handing out their login credentials so multiple people are logged in via the same account. This plugins puts a stop to that and only allow the number of concurrent sessions you set for the site. Can be pretty useful
