100 Tools To Search The Deep Web

Looks like the servers are overworked because I could not get it to load. I will however make a note of this article and come back to check at a later time

In California asknow.org is an awesome resource provided for people who have library cards; I am stunned by what well educated professionals can do on the inet. I suspect something similar is available in the other states. I also suspect that it is once again a case of "it isn't what you know, but who you know" - I've tracked down highly helpful college professors and graduate students. Brush off those good old net-working skills and get to work over the inet!

Thanks!

Dear Rhiannon,

I hope you'll consider this list as a starting point for yourself. It offers the potential for a number of interesting posts if you investigate the search engines from the point of view of identifying what they can do, and what they can find, that Google cannot. There is mention of searching databases which Google cannot do--but databases of what kind of information?
It doesn't matter much to me if a site is a "semantic search site" or not, but I would be interested in the kinds of findings that Anonymons (4/21/09, 8:23) points out about results for shopping or apartment hunting.

I hope this message inspires you to be an explorer for all of us.

Thanks Rhiannon. Great topic too.

Thanks!

I found the list very interesting. There are plenty of well done semantic search sites out there. In fact Cazoodle, Inc. had designed three for real world applications. For example they have http://apartments.cazoodle.com which has by far the most apartment listings that you will find on any site. There is is http://shopping.cazoodle.com which once again is providing more options than other shopping sites.
