A vertical search engine is a search page that specializes in one specific type of online content. Vertical search engines may focus on a specific subject such as travel (Kayak.com, Travelzoo.com etc.), a type of media (think YouTube) or arena of content (shopping.com or findlaw.com).
Vertical search engines have a distinct advantage over general
search engines in that they already have a very specific audience
interested in a narrow field of research. A search for the word “mustang”
in Google may return the automobile, jeans or the animal. However,
vertical search engines that specialize in autos, clothes or animals
would not have that issue. The advantage of a self-selected group of
users based on a specific area of interest gives vertical search engines
more flexibility in creating new models for relevancy ranking.
