New B2B search tool

Via MarketingVox, here is a cool new b2b search engine: VerticalSearch.com

Doing searches with it, it looks like the content comes almost exclusively from B2B media publications. Well, now that I've read their mission statement, they that's exactly what they have indexed to start. But they are ambitious:

"Soon we will be adding tens of thousands of B2B company sites to augment the B2B trade press sites. And, as VerticalSearch.com evolves, watch for useful community tools and features that will allow each vertical B2B community to share domain expertise, product offerings, and business and job opportunities by sector."

Sure, this kind of thing has been tried before, it some form or another. But as I work on reviewing the online directory business, I keep seeing something similar to VerticalSearch as where directories should be headed. Let's see how well they can do.
