Internet 101 By: monica grim

Even if there are a number of sophisticated search engines, the vastness of the Internet remains overwhelming that all they can get to from the massive information reservoir of the Web is its surface according to a new study. From a 41 page research paper came about information from a South Dakota company responsible for developing a new Internet software pertaining to the fact that the Web is 500 times bigger than what search engines like AltaVista, Yahoo, and Google dot com are showing.

These hidden information coves, which is well known to the Net savvy, have become a tremendous source of frustration for thousands of researchers who can't find the information they need with a few simple keystrokes. For search engines there are a lot of complaints from people and this is what is happening with the weather as well making them similar. It is the invisible Web which has been linked for so long to the uncharted territory of the Internet's World Wide Web sector.

Distinguishing the terrain from what is considered to be the surface information captured by the Internet search engines, there is one Sioux Falls start up company that describes it as the deep Web. Before there was an invisible Web but not anymore. Actually, the general manager of the company considers this to be what is cool about what they are involved in. When it comes to these underutilized outposts of cyberspace, they are actually a substantial chunk of the Internet according to many researchers but there has not been a company that extensively explored the back roads of the Web until this new company came along.

Deploying new software which has been developed over the past six months, it estimates there are now about 550 billion documents stored on the Web. Combined, Internet search engines index about 1 billion pages. Mid 1994 became witness to one of the first Web engines', lycos, feat of indexing over 54,000 pages. In terms of search engines which have come a long way since 1994 they are yet to be able to index more pages due to the increase in the size of databases because of corporations, universities, and government agencies.

Considering dynamic information stored in databases search engines rely on technology that is able to identify static pages instead. With regard to search engines, their purpose is to guide users to a home site that houses a large database and it is up to you to make more queries to find out what is in the page.

For the company, they were able to develop a solution and this is the software called lexibot. The process begins with one search request and you can expect it to gather information from the databases in the Internet after it searches the various pages indexed by traditional search engines. Such a software according to executives is not for just anyone. One reason behind this is that this software costs $89 after the 30 day free trial. For another, a lexibot search isn't fast. Typical searches will take 10 to 25 minutes to complete, but could require up to 90 minutes for the most complex requests.

Considering this, grandma should not even expect to make use of it to locate chocolate chip cookie or carrot cake recipes through the Internet. It is according to the privately held company that lexibot should be utilized in the academic and scientific circles. It is possible for the software to become too overpowering but even so there were Internet veterans who still found the company's research to be rather fascinating.

With the help of specialized search engines, the ever growing World Wide Web may be navigated much easier. Even if a centralized approach is used in this situation, success will be rather minimal. The company's greatest challenge now will be showing businesses and individuals how to effectively tell the world about the company's breakthrough.
