Troy, NY – (BUSINESS WIRE) – 3/25/04 – GlobalSpec, the leading specialized search engine and online resource for engineers and technical professionals, today announced the launch of more powerful search functionality, deeper engineering content and “The Engineering Web.”

In announcing these significant enhancements to the number one online destination for technical product sourcing, Jeffrey M. Killeen, GlobalSpec Chairman and CEO said, “We have built the specialized search engine and content repository for engineers and technical buyers – everything of relevance, expertly classified and indexed in one place. In fact, we believe we have built the definitive search platform for the engineering community.”

Search enhancements include “The Engineering Web,” defined as the slice of World Wide Web that focuses solely on engineering-related information. GlobalSpec now also provides access to the hidden Web – application notes, patents, material properties and standards – exclusive content not available on any other search engine.

Killeen added, “Earlier this year, Design News reported that ‘Search engines can only access 16% of the Web.’ GlobalSpec has broken through that barrier to provide access to more of the information that engineers and technical professionals are looking for.”

GlobalSpec has amassed more than 1,000,000 registered users with SpecSearch®, its proprietary search-by-specification technology. John Schneiter, President and co-founder of GlobalSpec, said “Extensive research of our online community, as well as our own engineering experiences, told us that engineers and technical professionals are frustrated with general search engines and having to wade through pages of irrelevant results. We have built what they asked us for - and what we frankly wished we had ourselves as practicing engineering professionals - The Engineering Search Engine.”
