What is a vertical search?
Vertical search, part of a larger subgrouping known as “specialized” search, is a relatively new tier in the Internet search industry consisting of search engines that focus on specific businesses. While Google, Yahoo!, and the like use their search engines covering any/all topics to the the online consumer search market, many specialized search engines (like Scitopia) are emerging to address the particular information needs of niche audiences and professions.
