' analysis
There is no doubt that Google, the world's most popular search engine, offers some excellent search features. But there is a consensus that Google is not so effective at finding subject-based information. It may boast the largest online index around, but it indexes only the first 100K of a document. In fact, less than half the searchable web is fully searchable in Google. So for subject-based searches, you might want to explore some of the specialist alternatives.

Top-ranked by Google, Yahoo and Windows Live for "international business search", Masterseek (www.

Masterseek provides free access to corporate profiles, contact information and descriptions of products and services from more than 45 million companies in 75 countries. Information is gathered by specially developed web crawlers that automatically and continually search thousands of company websites.
