There is such a search engine at
http://thescientificworld.com It is a
commercial venture and charges for copies of aticles, including a fee to the
copyright owner. That won't be to the liking of those who want to get
something they think is important without paying for it. The site includes
20,000 journals and only the years 1999 and 2000. It also includes an area
for submitting articles for online publication after review, with the
authors retaining copyright.
