What it does

Germany-based Netzwellen is a developer of vertical search engines for a variety of applications including shopping, news, image, video, history, marketing and technology. For the uninitiated, a vertical search engine is one that indexes content based on location, topic, or industry and unlike Google and Yahoo, they return more accurate results and are generally more focused on Business to Business type queries. To use Netzwellen, simply click on the category that you’d like to search for and then enter your query in the language of your choice, and receive more accurate results. Interestingly, they actually appear to be using a customized version of the Google search engine, so perhaps this site isn’t as original as it appears to be at first.

In their own words

“netzwellen is a service offering vertical search engines, improving your everyday search results.”

Why it might be a killer

They do a good job of providing users with an extensive selection of different categories through which to search. This site could become a popular engine in the competitive space of search aggregator sites.

Some questions

The design of the site is rather scattered and not very attractive. Have they considered improving the design and also a short explanation about what makes them better than their competitors?
