Search & Discovery
Search and Discovery gathers the tools people use to find things online. Dataset and data search covers portals that index public data, statistics, and open government records. Academic and research search looks through papers, citations, and scholarly archives, while general search engines and their tools cover everything from operator guides to alternative engines. Metasearch services query several engines at once, and image search, media search, and curated web directories fill in the specialised cases. News search, file and open directory search, and product and shopping search cover narrower needs. Topic names describe what each service searches, so you can tell a citation index from a general web engine before you open it. Some entries are experiments rather than finished products, so expect a mixed level of polish.
WueData is the institutional research data repository of Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, where university members can publish digital research data according to the FAIR principles. Data and accompanying materials are compiled into data packages with standardized metadata, curated by the university library, and published with a DOI. Metadata is public and available via a standardized OAI interface. It runs on the RADAR system of FIZ Karlsruhe, operated by the university computing center and library.
The WURM project is a database of computed physical properties of minerals. It provides crystal structures, calculation parameters, dielectric properties, Raman spectra with peak positions and intensities, and infrared spectra with peak positions. Calculations are performed within density-functional theory and density-functional perturbation theory using the ABINIT code. The site offers lists of minerals and spectra and a search function.
The West Virginia GIS Technical Center provides statewide GIS services to support the State's Spatial Data Infrastructure. Its services include the State Data Clearinghouse, a GIS People Directory and the MapWV.gov web mapping portal. The center publishes ArcGIS REST services for public use and offers individual datasets for download from the data clearinghouse. Files are archived and compressed into a single zip file for downloading.
The Wyoming Data Repository supports open discovery and preservation of data outputs produced by University of Wyoming and Wyoming Community College researchers. It lets users find, cite and reuse existing data outputs, with accounts available for submitting data. The repository lists 338 results.

The X-Ray Database is a reference from the Center for X-Ray Optics at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It provides access to atomic scattering factor files and lookups of x-ray properties of the elements, plus calculations for index of refraction, attenuation length, transmission, reflectivity and diffraction efficiency. It cites X-ray interaction data covering E=50-30000 eV for Z=1-92.
Xapian is an open source search engine library released under the GPL v2+ and written in C++, with bindings that allow use from Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby and other languages. It is a toolkit that lets developers add indexing and search facilities to their own applications, with built-in support for multiple weighting model families and boolean query operators. Omega is a supplied search application built on Xapian.
