In job searching and career planning, you must often think "outside the box". These search engines and sites below can help you do this.
www.theinvisibleweb.com features info. that is usually hidden from general search engines. This site, however, is quite complex in the choices it offers you so it will take some time on your part to see which feature best suits you.
Another personal favorite is www.copernic.com . There are various levels for this one… a free version and others you have to pay for. It is great for serious research.
Wolfram Alpha – The Internet’s new computational knowlege engine- see article at: http://www.pcworld.ca/news/column/51dde573c0a8000600b4bb658d1a1f4a/pg1.htm
Wolfram Alpha can't answer every question that a search engine can; but on topics it has data for, such as a town's historical temperature reading, it offers deep information.
Also, a good place to look for information about search engines in general
is http://www.searchenginewatch.com . Some parts of the site require a paid
membership, but there's a lot of good info even in the free parts. They
also have a newsletter you can subscribe to for the latest search engine
news.
You can also check out www.freepint.com and www.researchbuzz.com for their great newsletters and their info. rich content.
