A nice article on a new search engine. See quotes below. What are your
thoughts

"Turbo10 searches the Deep Net - a vast array of specialist databases
that range from business associations, universities, libraries, and
government departments. These specialist search engines are inaccessible
to traditional crawler-based engines such as Altavista.com and
google.com who can only index static pages. Turbo10 is the first
commercial metasearch engine to connect to hundreds of these specialised
engines en masse, broadening the depth and range of search results for
the online searcher."
"It's a different way to find what you want, and if you think about it,
far more logical than learning different search tricks and techniques.
Plus - and this is the real killer - we reckon that aside from all the
"how it works" and "what it means" stuff, Turbo10 produces BETTER
results for a given search. In fact, after using it for a while, you
tend to notice that Google slightly over-rates geeky and sub-culture
comments in place of solid, useful links and facts."
