The Internet changes every moment. The results from any single search are bound to vary, often even when submitted to the same search service. Old queries yield new information, and old data fades away.
Web sites rise and fall, and new resources appear hourly on the horizon.
Recognizing this, Proteus provides the power, variety, currency and comprehensiveness users demand of a search tool. To meet the challenges of modern research, a search service must evolve, deliver a refinable range of data, and offer multiple access points to information to maximize research potential. In mythology, Proteus was a deity of the sea who, thanks to the sea god Poseidon, possessed the gift of prophecy and could change shape at will. These abilities inspire Proteus to remain forward-looking and adaptable to the needs of its users worldwide.
