Enter Vertical Search and find what you are really looking for
September 30th, 2006
Vertical Search is a new phenomenon in the internet world and it has been created to give people the search results that would actually be useful (alteast most of them).
Broad-based search engines like Google and Yahoo fetch crawl a very large numbers of websites and documents and save the results in a common database and it is from this database that search results are pulled out and given to the user.
Vertical search engines, on the other hand, send their spiders out to a highly refined database, and their indexes contain information about a specific topic. The results thrown up by the vertical search engines cater to what the user is really looking for. The companies that advertise on these search engines reach the very niche they cater to.
Here are some of the vertical search engines - Looksmart, Retrevo, Pluggd, KnowledgeStorm’s KnowIT.
