"Hippias is a peer-reviewed, limited area search engine (LASE) of philosophy-related resources on the World-Wide Web. The point of Hippias is to limit searches of the internet to only those sites of scholarly interest. So whereas a search for "Plato" using a typical search engine like Alta Vista results in over 40,000 matches (many of which have nothing to do with Plato the philosopher), a search for "Plato" using Hippias results in less than 300 matches all pertaining to Plato the philosopher."
