Turbo10 Search Engine takes Poll Position on Search Engine Spy - 19/03/2002.

Turbo10 Search Engine (http://turbo10.com) has been ranked as the UK's number one engine by Search Engine Spy, the UK's leading search engine industry watchdog.

According to Search Engine Spy (http://www.searchenginespy.co.uk), Turbo10 is a 'refreshing change from many search engines mixing design, speed and content to create a truly superb search engine.'

Nigel Hamilton, Turbo10's Co-founder and Managing Director said, "We are delighted to be ranked number one on Search Engine Spy. It confirms that our formula of speed, simplicity and relevant results is working."

Turbo10 Search Engine recently announced its launch into the Deep Net, enabling users for the first time to search specialist information sources previously overlooked by traditional search engines.

London based, Turbo10 is the first search engine to bridge the gap between the surface web and the Deep Net. Crawler-based search engines like Altavista and Google only search static web pages - the surface web. But the surface web only represents a small proportion of the information available on the Net.

Turbo10 has created unique search engine adapter technology, called the Turbo10 Trawler to connect to the Deep Net - a vast array of specialist databases that range from business associations, universities, libraries, and government departments.

"By delving into the Deep Net we are broadening the depth and range of search results for the online searcher. The Trawler connects in real-time, so unlike crawler-based engines, we search in the present not the past." Nigel Hamilton, a former Computer Science University Lecturer, said.

The Turbo10 Trawler can query up to 10 different databases, retrieve the results, rank and display them in a consistent interface.
