FindArticles.com, which indexes and retrieves published magazine articles available at no cost on the web, was made possible and necessary by the growth of the Internet. There are now hundreds of reputable magazines that have put their articles online. To try to find all the articles on a particular subject by searching general search engines would be a difficult and time-consuming task, probably producing unsatisfactory results.
The need for HomepageSeek.com - a search engine whose mission is to give smaller sites and personal homepages a better chance to be found - has been brought about by improvements made in search engines.
Today most of the major search engines return results (to some extent) in order of the popularity of web pages and the number and quality of sites that link to them. This improves the relevancy of results for most searchers, but pushes smaller sites and personal homepages to the back of long results lists. HomepageSeek.com is tailored to the needs of searchers who might find more esoteric sites useful.
FindArticles.com - FINDS PUBLISHED MAGAZINE ARTICLES
FindArticles.com indexes hundreds of thousands of full-text articles in over 300 published magazines. The articles, which can be retrieved at no cost, go back to 1998, and cover a wide variety of consumer, professional, educational, scientific, technical and business topics. It's an excellent search engine for people doing research on practically any subject. For example some of the magazines that are included are Hotel and Motel Management, British Medical Journal, Film Quarterly, and Harvard Theological Review.
One drawback inherent in searching for information in articles or any long document is that when a resulting article only secondarily concerns the subject you're searching for, it can be time-consuming to find the material that's relevant to you. It would be nice if search words were bolded or highlighted in the retrieved articles in order to alleviate this problem.
Search Tips
FindArticles.com has organized the magazines it indexes into nine broad subject areas (e.g., Arts and Entertainment, Health and Fitness , Business and Finance, etc.) You're given the option of searching all the magazines, only magazines in a particular subject category or an individual magazine.
For many topics, searching publications in one subject area is the best way to avoid retrieving a long list of articles that are irrelevant to you. To search in a particular publication, click on the name of the magazine in the A-Z list or the subject list, or select an item from the magazine in your results list.
