IFRA Search - search engine for news publishing
IFRA Search, the search engine for the news publishing industry, is online. IFRA will find all information relevant to the news publishing industry drawn from IFRA’s own, partners’ and other high-quality sources.
Its vertical orientation ensures that the hits generated by IFRA Search offer quality instead of quantity – the result of a two-year development period based on more than 40 years of IFRA know-how in the news publishing industry. Thus the IFRA search engine offers the possibility to find important contents quickly and precisely.
“There is an enormous volume of knowledge concerning the news publishing industry spread throughout the world. An important objective of IFRA Search is to index as much of this material as possible”, says IFRA CEO Reiner Mittelbach. “Even if access to the material is limited (password protected), its inclusion in IFRA Search contributes to heightening general awareness of the wealth of research projects, studies, publications and reports that exists on topics that are of decisive interest for the industry.”
The IFRA search engine offers newspaper-related results in three research areas:
– The “IFRA & Partners” search permits access to IFRA’s own databases as well as those of its partners;
– The “Web” search contains information from the manufacturing industry as well as other sources;
– The “News” search is based mainly on up-to-the-minute sources (RSS feeds & websites).
The search query corresponds to those of the regular search engines, with indication of the language area, search with operands, etc. Formal source filters in the search areas concerned enhance the hit quality. Behind each displayed document there is also a link that opens a pop-up window with the summary of the document concerned. Results can be returned in English and German, like so:
