NewspaperARCHIVE.com Announces New Search Engine Partnership

Online, March 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - NewspaperARCHIVE.com, the world's largest online archive of historic newspapers, is announcing a partnership with Exalead to enable searching across the 100 million newspapers in their collection. Exalead is the leading provider of search-based application platforms, and NewspaperARCHIVE.com is confident that customers will have a faster, smoother search experience.

"As our archives grow, we need to scale our search capabilities to ensure that our customers gain the best possible experience." said Derek Fiscus, Director of Technology for NewspaperARCHIVE.com.

Exalead allows to index all of our information comfortably and provide a vastly improved and scalable solution."

The database contains of just over 100 million newspaper pages, each averaging about 6,000 words - a total of roughly 600 billion terms or 2 TBs of text.
