The question can be asked of people, but it is increasingly being asked about internet search-engines, as specialist or “vertical” sites take on generalists such as Yahoo! and Google. Some are already prospering: <A title=" (opens in a new window) " href="http://www.globalspec.com/" target="_blank">GlobalSpec.com</A>, for example, a profitable search-engine for engineers, has 3.5m registered users and signs up another 20,000 each week. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.economist.com/research/articlesBySubject/displayStory.cfm?story_id=9478224&subjectID=348963&fsrc=nwl&emailauth=%2527%252A%2520%252E0%255D%253D%253FASQ4%2520%250A">Its knowledge about the needs of its users sets it apart from the generalist search-engines, says Angela Hribar of GlobalSpec.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.economist.com/research/articlesBySubject/displayStory.cfm?story_id=9478224&subjectID=348963&fsrc=nwl&emailauth=%2527%252A%2520%252E0%255D%253D%253FASQ4%2520%250A">Vertical sites, which serve up search results from a carefully selected group of topic-specific websites, can also target advertising at particular audiences more precisely.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.economist.com/research/articlesBySubject/displayStory.cfm?story_id=9478224&subjectID=348963&fsrc=nwl&emailauth=%2527%252A%2520%252E0%255D%253D%253FASQ4%2520%250A">One promising area for vertical sites is health-related search, which provides a microcosm of the threats and opportunities facing specialists.
