I use Google as my most common search engine. When searching for "surfing portugal" Google returned me 29,900 search results. With globalsurfers.com being the first website displayed.
Copernic returned 67 results. They were more specific but didn't have the number or variety that i would prefer.
I could not undergo a 'deep web' search through Copernic as i do not have the full version. I did however, use the online search at turbo10.com which is a deep web search engine. I received 25 results from this search. My results came from 3 different sources.
-alltheweb.com
-mirago.co.uk
-dmoz.org
Mirago.co.uk was pretty useless for what i was looking for. It had some general unrelated links. Then i came accross ardvarksports.net which is a search engine dedicated to sports. This site proved to return relevant results.
I still prefer the Google search but realise there would be circumstances where a database search could be useful. For searches to do with science based research or statistics a meta search would be great.
