anti-search engines

When a search request produces no result, most often it is because of a typo. In such cases, it is useful when the engine offers alternatives.

But sometimes it is not because of a typo but rather because the requested item is not on the web at all. In those cases the search request is a bit special, and defines the limits for the set of data within the web.

This anti-search engine information is valuable and, with enough examples, it could be used to identify areas where fruitful research could be directed, patents applied, web addresses registered, and products and services produced.
