Search Tools - Federated search technology - 12.02.2015

Dear users,

Here are some useful federated search engines.  Federated search involves cross searching in a collection of websites and produces result in one format.

WorldWideScience


WorldWideScience.org is a global science search engine (Academic databases and search engines) designed to accelerate scientific discovery and progress by accelerating the sharing of scientific knowledge. Through a multilateral partnership, WorldWideScience.org enables anyone with internet access to launch a single-query search of national scientific databases and portals in more than 70 countries, covering all of the world’s inhabited continents and over three-quarters of the world’s population. From a user’s perspective, WorldWideScience.org makes the databases act as if they were a unified whole

Science Accelerator is a web-based gateway to science information (Academic databases and search engines) including research results from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The information is provided as a free public service by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), within the Office of Science. The Science Accelerator uses federated search technology to search DOE-generated and DOE-related science information databases and collections. Federated search technology allows the information customer to search multiple data sources with a single query in real time. It provides simultaneous access to "deep web" scientific databases, which are typically not searchable by commercial search engines.

Here are some useful web crawlers.
A Web crawler is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web, typically for the purpose of Web indexing. A Web crawler may also be called a Web spider, an ant, an automatic indexer, or (in the FOAF software context) a Web scutter (wikipedia).
