The system and method for augmenting searching for data with public search engines, by submitting searches to special purpose search resources, such as search capabilities provided by private companies, universities, government web pages, and the like is described. Toward this end, a general purpose search engine is identified, and a special purpose search resource identified. A search query is submitted to the public search engine, and a first result is received in response thereto. The search query is also submitted to the special purpose search resource, and a second response is received thereto. These first and said second results are merged into a combined search result. Techniques for identifying, determining and recording use, and verify continued availability of special purpose search resources are also disclosed.
