Alacra launched its first vertical search engine, Portal B, almost eight years ago. That was before Google became a household name and a time when Alta Vista was considered the best search engine.
While Google has driven great advancements in general search, it's still largely a consumer search engine. For business users, there are many searches which Google can not easily handle, for example:
- What have UK consultancies written about backdating stock options?
- Which law firms are involved in asbestos litigation
- Which VCs have portfolio companies involved in social networks?
To help business users address these and other searches for which consumer search engines like Google are less effective, Alacra has created AlacraSearch, a vertical search engine which leverages Google Co-op's Custom Search Engines. AlacraSearch is a free web search engine and is also included within Alacra Premium.
To access AlacraSearch, visit www.alacra.com/AlacraSearch.
