Skyscanner Isn't the same since they stopped showing the non protected transfers

Agreed. It was very, very handy.

On the plus side, about 90% of those were through Stansted with Ryanair, so you can work around easily enough.

Is there any other sites out there like SkyScanner that might show cheaper flights?

Excellent site. Used it a couple of times the last few weeks and booked flight from Poland last night on it. I think its better that skyscanner and it always seems to be cheaper than it too. Just to make a point , when you are booking through these sites , always check the airlines own site for comparison. Some of the agents through momondo were looking for 14 euro extra to book using debit card. The airliners website wasn't

2 great ones that don't exist any more were flylowcostairlines.org , this one used list every airline & route out of any given airport, I'm not even sure you could book flights on it, it just used to give you a link to the relevant airlines website (which come to think of it, may be a reason for its demise) , but was excellent for coming up with a few of the more obscure airlines & seasonal routes that skyscanner missed. 

Another one was airninja, think this still exists as a comparison site, similar to the one above, but not as well laid out as a website.
