(SIOUX FALLS, SD) — BrightPlanet™, a provider
of business solutions for researching, monitoring and managing the vast
amounts of surface and Deep Web content, announced today it has
expanded the size of its public directory to over 100,000 searchable
databases and specialty search engines, by far the largest known
compilation of sources on the Internet. Collectively, these engines and
databases provide access to an estimated 4 billion documents – twice
the number found on standard search engines.
“We
added many more sites dealing with news sources and newspapers,” Will
Bushee, a BrightPlanet Senior Software Engineer said. “That was our
primary focus, but there are many other topic areas that are growing
very rapidly as well. Our site search capabilities have also been
enhanced for even faster and easier use.” The directory that organizes
this enormous search capability is CompletePlanet: the Internet's
largest, most central and complete access point for all things relating
to Internet searching.
“CompletePlanet
was created as a public service,” said Thane Paulsen, President of
BrightPlanet Corporation. “A CompletePlanet search can take you to the
front door of 103,000 sites now. In addition, because we’ve mastered
how to identify and work with all these sources simultaneously and
automatically, our business products are able to deliver extraordinary
productivity gains and high-quality content to our enterprise
customers. Information workers can save hours every week and obtain
more valuable information from these sites and databases by searching
many engines simultaneously for desired content with a single query.”
CompletePlanet has three major content components:
- The
most complete listing available of surface Web search engines and
Deep-Web searchable databases (see the Deep-Web FAQ or Deep-Web white
paper to learn more about these distinctions). CompletePlanet presently
contains 103,000 search sites organized into more than 5,000 subject
headings.
- Tips, tutorials and guides for helping you to become a more effective searcher of the Internet.
- Links to other valuable Web site resources.
This content will continue to grow, along with the Internet. “We are
committed to add searchable sites to CompletePlanet until we have
comprehensively captured all 400,000 estimated Deep-Web sites,” Paulsen
said.
Along with a comprehensive
aggregation of deep and surface Web sites, CompletePlanet features
search tutorials, search-related news, site reviews and additional
research resources.
The CompletePlanet access point to search engines and searchable databases is found at http://www.completeplanet.com.
