ChipHit is a search engine dedicated to searching ASIC, FPGA, and EDA topics of interest.  For example, with TI, ChipHit only searches the section of the TI site related to ASICs, that way the search engine produces less noise. As for ChipHit content specifics, ChipHit searches ASIC, FPGA, and EDA sites in these areas: ASIC vendors, blogs, design, forums, FPGA vendors, IP, languages, news, open source, prototyping, radhard, research, services, tools, training, and verification. While not explicitly listed, there is quite a bit of embedded and DSP related information ChipHit also.

General semiconductor parts (and associated data sheets) have plenty of search engines already, hence are purposely excluded.

ChipHit is based on the Google Co-op search engine, hence all of Google's standard tricks apply. Note that Google Co-op search does, however, return different results that Google. For example, doing a site: search on ChipHit returns 5 hits from most sites, which site: on Google returns hundreds. Google is aware of these issues via the Google custom search engine group. For day to day searches, however, Google Co-op does a better job of searching because Co-op limits the search space to the sites that ChipHit specifies.
