Deep Web Technologies' New Explorit 4.0 Now Makes It Even Easier to Search the 94% of Documents Missed by Google!

SANTA FE, N.M. -- Accessing the deep web -- the other 94% of the planet's electronically-stored data and documents that is missed by common consumer search engines such as Google -- just got easier! Deep Web Technologies (DWT), http://www.deepwebtech.com, announced today the release of the next generation of its proprietary federated search software Explorit(TM) 4.0. DWT's software has enabled private industry and most famously, the U.S. government, to create breakthrough web sites such as the "one stop" Science.gov which empowers users to access 50 million pages of federal research and development projects.

According to Abe Lederman, DWT's founder and president, the new version of Explorit was created in response to user request, as well as the company's own desire to continue to develop the most robust system possible. Users will immediately notice the new version now offers an enhanced interface to allow for the simple creation of custom applications for different groups of users. Explorit 4.0 also introduces new monitoring and management tools. Graphical-based tools monitor usage and the health of individual data sources. Further, tools have been added that allow for the management of the overall system, including reconfiguring the system for growth, better performance and dealing with failed hardware. Performance has been improved to better handle large numbers of information sources and user queries.

Common search engines only explore documents that are available for consumption by the masses; that is about 6% of the research and data that is stored electronically today. They cannot conduct a federated search; a search that collects and combines data from subscriber-based portals, Intranets, and other private web sites with information on public sites. Certainly, these individual sites can be searched one by one, and the information compiled and sorted by the user but that can be an unnecessarily tedious and costly process. DWT's Explorit 4.0 saves individuals and organizations both time and money by launching a federated search of all relevant portals with one search query in one user interface. Explorit 4.0 then delivers the query's results in a relevantly ranked order. Common search engines only return results based on the popularity of the sites surveyed -- a ranking of little use to serious researchers.

Founded in 2002 by Verity search software co-founder Abe Lederman, Deep Web Technologies is providing custom search solutions for researchers and the corporate libraries of Fortune 500 companies. However, the company, which has been named one of Technology Ventures Corporation's "Flying 40" for the second year in a row and identified as number five on New Mexico Business Weekly's "Fast Trackers" list, is most frequently recognized for its work for the federal government. Samples of DWT's technology at work can be viewed on sites such as the DOE's Energy, Science and Technology Virtual Library - http://energyfiles.osti.gov, the DoD's scientific site - http://multisearch.dtic.mil, and http://www.Science.gov.
