If you are a student or a researcher or just interested in finding more in depth information then I recommend the following search tools.

Unlike a typical google search that will produce a listing of websites deemed relevant to the search words, these tools search on PDF documents located within websites.

Given that some of the "best" data on websites is stored within PDFs that are not easily accessed, these search tools will reveal a host of new (and largely free) data in the form of articles, research, interviews and other publications. Why not try it now - just enter a search word or phrase and see what it reveals.
