Northern Light returns: "Northern Light," a web search engine that disappeared from the radar several years ago has finally resurfaced as the "Northern Light Business Research Engine." Though it's marketed as a business resource, you will also be able to locate plenty of articles on general topics as well. The journal search engine covers 1.3 million articles from over 1,400 publications. Other components at the site include a "Business Web" search, a News search, and a "White Papers" search. Most of the content is pay-per-view, but some items are free.
