PDF Database - pdf and doc search engine: This is a search engine that only indexes and searches PDFs and Word files.
I find this interesting for a particular reason: what does format say about content? Would we find a different mix of content in PDF and Word files than we could find in HTML?
I did some random searches:
The results were interesting. I’m trying to put my finger on if or why the content would be a different…flavor. I found a fair amount of sales presentations. Could it be that PDF and Word content is more directed to a specific audience, rather than for random, public dissemination?
Interested on your thoughts as to if or why the content character and quality would be any different than HTML search results.
You can specify the file type in the Google advanced search. Not sure why someone would want to compete in that space.
