What’s the big deal about deep web search and why it is creating a huge buzz in the Internet today?

According to Internet experts, while major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN provide information that are retrieved from billions of web pages, still their search technology is not capable of returning results as exactly as it is wanted specifically when it comes to what we call the deep web search.

While Google continues to add pages-in fact another trillion of pages in the last summer–to the list of web pages it knows about, still it is said to be these are just a tip of an iceberg. Beyond what major search engines know is even vaster collection of hidden data: financial information, shopping catalogs, flight schedules-among others which remain invisible to the eyes of major search engines.

So, to be able penetrate this data, data that is beyond the reach of major search engines, a new technology called ‘deep web search engine’ must be developed. A so called search engine technology that works to analyze and understand users’ query to give the most appropriate query results which present search engines are not capable of since they use a keyword-based technology.

Google is working for this so called deep web search conundrum but it is very much cautious in every step of the way particularly in making changes in its search technology for fear of alienating its users.

There are other search technologists which are trying to develop to unveil the portal of deep web search environment. And if the development of their system become successful, it could give the most-effective and efficient search query results ever that people, companies, would consider as their greatest search engine benefit.

Google is said to be using a cookie–a small piece of program that is integrated to a web browser–to follow users as they visit from one page to another that show ads through its Adsense program and then assign those users to categories based on the substance of the web pages they visit.

This newly-introduced advertising scheme is set to be tested with several dozens of advertisers but Google plans to widen its scope.

Meanwhile, some critics, analysts say that the Google’s venture to this so called ‘behavioral targeting’ program could bring the company’s relationship with web publishers that utilizes its advertising services into a higher degree of complexities as there are many publishers may be reluctant to give information about their user when they visit other sites.

Google patched a loophole on its Google Doc application when they discovered a privacy glitch that inappropriately shared access to a fraction of word-processing and presentation documents stored in the company’s online Google Docs service.

In a statement Google said:

“We’ve identified and fixed a bug which may have caused you to share some of your documents without your knowledge. This inadvertent sharing was limited to people with whom you, or a collaborator with sharing rights, had previously shared a document,”

G”The issue only occurred if you, or a collaborator with sharing rights, selected multiple documents and presentations from the documents list and changed the sharing permissions. This issue affected documents and presentations, but not spreadsheets.”

The company said that the bug just affected 0.05% of the total documents stored at the site and all of the affected were notified.
