Scirus is a comprehensive science-specific search engine that searches over 480 million science-related webpages. This allows users to: pinpoint scientific, scholarly, technical and medical data on the Web; find the latest reports, peer-reviewed articles, patents, pre-prints and journals that other search engines miss; and offers unique functionalities designed for scientists and researchers. Scirus boasts of three key advantages to its website:

1. Filters out non-scientific sites. For example, if you search on REM, Google finds the rock group - Scirus finds information on sleep, among other things.

2. Finds peer-reviewed articles such as PDF and PostScript files, which are often invisible to other search engines.

3. Searches the most comprehensive combination of web information, preprint servers, digital archives, repositories and patent and journal databases. Scirus goes deeper than the first two levels of a Web site, thereby revealing much more relevant information.
