Turbo10 invited to demonstrate Deep Net Metasearch Engine Options

[cre8pc]

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.


The technical paper can be previewed prior to the conference at:

This sounds really neat.

I'll tell you whether or not I still think so, after I read the techical document you linked to, later tonight.

The idea of using those smaller sites is an interesting one.
