Add Search Engine Tour

Take the Add a Search Engine tour and find out how you can suggest an engine to Turbo10 in three easy steps.

Step 1. Enter the search box URL. You need to supply the URL of the page that contains the search box. Press the Get Search Box button.



Step 2. Enter a search. Use the scroll bars to help locate the search box on the page. Enter a search term in the search box. Use a search term that will produce at least two results. Submit the search.
Step 3a. Click on two search result links. Find the search results of your search and click on one of the links. You may need to scroll down a little to avoid clicking on sponsored or advertised links.Step 3b. After clicking on the first result link, you will see a pop up message asking you to click on the second result link. Press OK.

Step 3c. Click on a second result link in the results page.

Whilst Turbo10 can connect to hundreds of engines, we cannot create connections to every engine. In these cases, you will receive notification that we are unable to connect to it. This can happen at either Step 2 or 3.

If we can connect to your suggested engine it will appear immediately in our Deep Net engines list. You can now add this engine into your collection and begin searching immediately.

Search Deeper: Add a Search Engine

Turbo10 connects to search engines via 'adapters'.

Adapters are created by a simple three step process:
1. Enter the URL of the search box.
2. Enter a search query.
3. Click on 2 result links.

If the process is successful the engine is connected immediately.

All engines are different, so we can't always guarantee a connection.

To learn more about adding a search engine take the tour.

Once you've added all your favourite engines you can group them into your own My Collections.

Search Deeper: Search the Deep Net

Turbo10 can connect you to thousands of search engines containing information overlooked by engines like Yahoo and Google. This previously untapped information has been called the 'invisible web' or as we call it: the Deep Net.

Searching the Deep Net on Turbo10 is free and means you can:
  • Find more quality information from specialist, topic-specific engines.
  • Directly access online government, business and university databases.
  • Search these databases in real-time, the moment you enter a search.
  • Save time. You can search up to 10 Deep Net engines simultaneously.
