T10 On TV

BBC World's, Click Online TV Programme featured a segment on Turbo10 today:

...Onto another engine now and have you ever heard of the 'deep net'? According to Turbo10, traditional engines like Google and Yahoo pull up just 10% of what's out there because they crawl static web pages. This is known as the surface web. The remaining 90% is known as the Deep Net. Turbo10, like many other search tools, conducts a meta-search across 10 other engines, chosen from over 1300 other search engines available to them. But if you want a deeper search involving specialised material, then Turbo10 has access to specialist databases from business associations, universities, libraries, and government departments. The search appears to send up results very quickly and the clustering menu on the left helps compartmentalise the mass of results delivered. Coupled with a clean interface and refreshing lack of pop-ups, banners and ads, this should join your search engine arsenal. Let me know what you think - could Turbo10 spell the end of Google? Thanks to Deepesh Agarwal in India for the recommendation.

Here's another search engine that operates differently than your average engine. Enter keywords, and it looks up ten sites and highlights your search keywords. On the left side, there is a list of topic clusters. If the search results weren't exciting, you can click on words in the topic cluster list and get different results. Beneath the topic cluster list is a bar for relevance and speed. Click the arrows to increase or decrease relevance and speed, which will narrow or add to the results list. The search engine works to crawl the deep 'Net - places Yahoo! and Google don't cover. Create your own collections, selecting the search engines to use and name the collection. For instance, there is a search engine for finding dermatologists. Perhaps you can create one for medicine or doctors, and add this engine along with others to make up the collection. [Meryl]
