EasyDefine was initially developed with the intention of speeding up the time people spend looking up vocabulary words. With this website there is no need to spend countless hours looking up definitions. All one has to do is copy and paste the word list and all the words will be extracted and defined. Definitions are taken from Princeton's WordNet 3.0. EasyDefine is coded in PHP, AJAX and javascript (jQuery), using a MySQL database to store word definitions. Graphic design was done via Adobe Photoshop CS3, and CSS.

Deep Web Wiki is a volunteer-led search organization that maintains a database containing detailed descriptions of so-called "Deep Web" sites that are either ignored or poorly indexed by the major search engines; it is estimated that ~95 to 99% of Web-accessible content cannot be reached using conventional web crawling methods. The Deep Web Wiki also contains other useful information sites that often are not popular enough to rank on the first few pages of search engine's results--despite their value.The Deep Web Wiki depends on the efforts of Web users to build the wiki and improve the quality and accuracy of site descriptions. Contributions to the index can be made either anonymously or by signing up for a free membership that allows members to track their contributions and watch pages of interest.

A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

invisible web, hidden web, and deep web all refer to the same thing: a massive storehouse of online data that the search engines don't capture. That's because terabytes of information are buried in databases and other research resources. Searchable and accessible online but often ignored by conventional search engines, these resources exist by the thousands. Known in research circles as the invisible, deep, or hidden Web, this buried content is an estimated 500 times larger than the surface Web, which is estimated at over four billion pages. This mass of information represents a potent research resource, no matter what your discipline or interest. Below are some tools to help you mine it. Students and serious researchers may also find our collections of web directories and scholarly and academic research tools and strategies useful.

rclis is pronounced "reckless" and stands for research in computing, library and information science. rclis is a project to build a database about all current and current and past research in computing and library and information science. The data will be freely available for public and private, commercial and non-commercial purposes. It will serve as a testbed for digital library research. It will initially be released using the public metadata harvesting protocol of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), using the Academic Metadata Format (AMF). Other delivery mechanisms and metadata formats may be added as time permits.

A metasearch engine is a search tool[1] that sends user requests to several other search engines and/or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously. Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. This also may save the user from having to use multiple search engines separately.
