TechWorld: New Search Engine Gives Google Run For Its Money

A new London-based search engine is threatening to give Google a run for its money and introduce a whole different way of searching for things on the Net.

Turbo10.com is owned by Fleetfoot Internet Solutions Limited based in London's Docklands and promises to offer access to information on the Internet that others search engines, including Google, can't find.

The search engine covers what it calls "Deep Net" - non-static pages that are only covered by specialist search engines - by making it possible to run searches through a huge array of different search engines and then combine the results in one list on its site.

The Register: Make way for the contender to Google's crown

Turbo10 makes waves in The Register.


By Kieren McCarthy:
Make way for the contender to Google's crown.
Turbo10 really is that good.

You're not going to believe this, but a new search engine has just appeared and, well, it may be better than Google.

Obviously, that sounds slightly ridiculous but after having spent a day devising weird and wonderful searches and comparisons, not only has it stood up to the test but it's so good that you realise how much of an effect Google has had on your thinking when it comes to searching the Net.

You can go try it now - it's at Turbo10.com - but for God's sake, before you start emailing and ranting and raving, read the rest of this story as it will probably cover what you're going to say.

London Metasearch Engine First to Connect to over 1000 Online Engines

London based search engine, Turbo10 unveiled technology connecting to over 1000 topic-specific engines on the Internet at The Twelfth International World Wide Web Conference in Budapest last week.

Turbo10 has launched the first fully automated system that creates and maintains connections to online databases en masse.

“Connecting to 1000 engines is just the tip of the iceberg. By creating an automated system we can connect to thousands more,” Nigel Hamilton Turbo10’s CEO said.

The list of engines is updated every five minutes as more engines are added. A live counter of engines can be viewed on Turbo10’s homepage.

This new technology was officially launched at the WWW 2003 conference in a technical paper titled: The Mechanics of a Deep Net Metasearch Engine.

London based search engine, Turbo10 (http://turbo10.com) has been invited to demonstrate groundbreaking Deep Net search engine technology at the world's leading web technology conference - The Twelfth International World Wide Web Conference (http://www2003.org) in Budapest next week.

This new technology is based on a technical paper titled: The Mechanics of a Deep Net Metasearch Engine.

The technical paper outlines new automated techniques to retrieve
information from hundreds of topic specific engines on the Internet that are currently overlooked by traditional crawler-based engines such as Altavista.com and google.com.

According to the paper, Turbo10 is the first commercial metasearch engine to connect to hundreds of specialised engines en masse, broadening the depth and range of search results for the online searcher.

The paper's author, Nigel Hamilton, Turbo10's CEO and Technology Director, said, the next step in searching is the ability to retrieve results from the deepest parts of the Net. Until now search technology has only scratched the surface of the Web. There is a wealth of information in specialist databases that we are now just starting to access.

The Deep Net refers to the vast array of specialist databases that range from business associations, universities, libraries, and government departments.

To meet the challenge of creating and maintaining connections to hundreds of databases we have developed a fully automated process, the first of its kind in the industry, Nigel Hamilton, a former Computer Science University Lecturer, said.

The Mechanics of a Deep Net Metasearch Engine will be displayed in a poster format at The Twelfth International World Wide Web Conference. The conference takes place next week on the 20-24 May 2003, Budapest, Hungary.
