| Links: Better Internet Search Engines
In this column, I'll take a look at some of these new search engines and explain how they are making searching a more fruitful endeavor. In future columns I'll return to the more traditional search engines (yes, they still can be very useful for certain types of searches), and look at some of the unique new features they've added. I'll also explain how to fashion your searches to improve your chances of getting the Web sites you want.

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Deep web whitepaper
This first-ever study describes the nature of the deep Web, and quantifies its size, importance and quality. Major sections deal with study methodology, findings, and implications. The paper has been written according to peer-reviewable standards. The deep Web is qualitatively different from the surface Web. Deep Web sources store their content in searchable databases that only produce results dynamically in response to a direct request. But a direct query is a "one at a time" laborious way to search.

The apparent terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 changed the skyscape of New York City, and the political and emotional landscape of the United States.
