Wired News: Turning Search Into a Science
Scirus is a search engine specifically targetted at scientists - a specialist group who use the web a lot and want targetted results. I've used it a bit, but it's not on my list of favourties. However, it is in my plans to build a meta engine to both search this as well as Google, and to combine both approaches to ranking the documents so that I get both a comprehensive and better ranked search. I'd also looking into Google's personalised search but without much idea of the technology it uses for it's approach it becomes a behaviourist evaluation which is not ideal. A project for a student, methinks.
