RefSeek Launches Reference Search Engine
RefSeek.com searches the entire Web for freely available academic information, providing relevant results while filtering out most commercial content. RefSeek is a new NY-based search engine that’s targeting students and researchers. RefSeek does not claim to offer more results than Google. It claims to be indexing over one billion documents, including web pages, books, encyclopedias, journals, and newspapers.
The site also includes a “Search Tips” section that provides concise advice and strategies for maximizing the use of RefSeek, such as specifying an exact phrase or searching a specific website. The latter is implemented by clicking on the “Search this Site” link that appears after a search has been conducted. The force inclusion of words is also explained in this section of the site. Today’ss BETA launch is a first step in the creation of an open search service that makes academic information easily accessible to everyone.
