New Search Engine Takes "Dyve" Into the Dark Web

Posted by timothy on from the looking-for-porn dept.

CWmike writes "DeepDyve has launched its free search engine that can be used to access databases, scholarly journals, unstructured information and other data sources in the so-called 'Deep Web' or 'Dark Web,' where traditional search technologies don't work. The company partnered with owners of private technical publications, databases, scholarly publications and unstructured data to gain access to content overlooked by other engines. Google said earlier this month that it was adding the ability to search PDF documents. In April, Google said it was investigating how to index HTML forms such as drop-down boxes and select menus, another part of the Dark Web."

    I don't know about you guys but I prefer not to have to sign up or use the "pro" version for my web searching needs.

    In fact why do I have to sign up to web search anything?

    Besides this thing looks like it just gets in your way.

    Thanks, but it's not a google killer.

    If they can't set up a registration system that can get someone registered in under a week then how good is the rest of it?

    And what do they need my street address for?

    Pass.
