Specializes in spidering dynamic pages?

I was just told about this engine today. I didn't see much on this engine in the forum search. They appear to specialize in spidering dynamic sites for information. Profusion says it can search our site's database, which is news to me! But it seems as though it does not work well, because a search through results from only my site resulted in 0 hits. Anyone had similar experience? Here is their owner, Intelliseek's, press release:

"ProFusion.com's 3+ million user base is primarily comprised of knowledge workers, researchers, librarians and business users."

So are they NOT targeting the general, consumer market, eh? I wonder if they really generate ANY traffic for ANYONE. It is an interesting site, at the least.

With Google's ability to index all kinds of dynamic stuff, and with Alltheweb being able to do it well too, I don't see how 'specializing in dynamic' is any kind of competitive advantage.

Thanks for the link! Inteliseek makes a couple of products I've read about before, and that number of 3 + million users is actually quite interesting. Still, I've never seen a referral come from that direction...anyone else?
