Most of the major search engines are only designed to search the surface of the web and they deliver less than 10% of the available internet information, according to many search engine analysts. We’re not demeaning their contribution to the Net by reporting this; we’re attempting to explain how and why the public can be better served in receiving information that is completely hidden from these “surface” web engines.

To obtain information from the Net, search engines employ spiders (also known as crawlers and robots, etc.) Spiders are designed to search for information in a structured manner and they only retrieve what they are designed to do. Almost without exception, the Big Search Engines are alike and they are super quick at emulating each other; they spend so much time keeping up with each other, that inventive and rational thinking seems to go awry.

One of these main search engines has convinced almost all of the other major engines of their Ranking and Indexing System, which is based on the premise that Popularity of Linking is the central key to providing the most useful and relevant search. Under this design, pages do not exist until they are dynamically created. Dynamic content, often referred to as HTML, enables navigation from one page to another.

To be seen by these spiders, content must be static and linked to other pages. Many of these major search engines cannot see nor retrieve content from the Web until the pages are created dynamically as a result of a search.

InfoLink’s TUNNEL SEARCH is able to assimilate content from the DEEP WEB into a central database despite the net’s structure and inherent problems of largely serving the superficious, surface engines.

The Deep Web where most search engines cannot tread is over One Hundred times larger than the Surface Web. Many unique repositories of topical information including 300 major libraries and dozens of scientific databases account for 70% of the Deep Web.

E-Commerce is growing steady and now amounts for 10%. The Deep Web is Ten times greater than all recorded print publishing – Over 7500 Terabytes of Information. There are over 200,000 Deep Web Sites and they are almost all freely accessible. The largest sixty sites of the Deep Web are forty times larger than the Surface Web.

IT'S A FACT - SURFACE ENGINES ONLY RETRIEVE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE NET'S INFORMATION.

Deep Web Information is Fresher because Topical and Vertical Sites keep their sites more current. Surface Spiders sometimes delay their database entry for months; they also have databases which are built over the years without updating, as can be evidenced in any surface engine results … some Information dates into the Nineties!

While Search is a Technological Wonder, you must consider that you only receive what is spidered and placed into the engine’s database, so the cliché applies – Garbage In – Garbage Out!

Many industry programmers now question Page Ranking of Popularity Linking and believe it stifles the flow of Relevant Information from all sources. It certainly creates the problem of not being able to access the entire web. There are no divergent results, only the results from popularized networking; somewhat akin to an Old Boys Club with Insider Networks. There have been attempts by the major search engines to develop advanced searches for the Topical Databases, however, we believe they fail to do an adequate job.

Surface Engines provide so much Duplication because of the Popularity System. News media, including Newspapers, TV, Radio and other Reporting Medias all "mirror" published reports because of this Popularity Ranking Method. All of this needless action stagnates bandwith.

With TUNNEL SEARCH, we compile the results from a directed group of Specialty and Vertical Engines and we purge duplications and irrelevant information prior to combining results from our Directories (InfoLinks) including RSS InfoLink Feeds and InfoLink Blogs. This compilation of results, returns the latest, most pertinent info from the center of the Deep Web. In addition we add the Results of the Surface Web. The results are cleaned of duplication and forwarded to our Cluster Software for segmentation.

InfoLink's Tunnel Search is the most thorough search of the web.
