There's just something about niche search engines on university sites that makes me happy.
Anyway, eBizSearch, at http://gunther.smeal.psu.edu/index.html , is described as "an experimental niche search engine that searches the web and catalogs academic articles as well as commercially produced articles and reports that address various business and technology aspects of e-Business." The front page of the site is a simple keyword search with the option to search for documents or citations.
A search for "clickthrough" in documents found three results, while the same search in citations found one result. The citation search results look like a bibliography. The document search results contain a title, very brief excerpt, and URL. The three results I found for this search were all PDF files. A search for "popup" in documents found eight results, and while seven of them were PDF the eighth one looked like PostScript.
These were some very information-dense resources. Articles included "Advertising in a Pervasive Computing Environment," "Modeling the Clickstream: Implications for Web-Based Advertising Efforts," and "Preferential Partner Selection in an Evolutionary Study of Prisoner's Dilemma." I saw articles as far back as 1996.
