In this 21st Century, globalization has become a common knack for all. In most used ways, globalization is made by creating websites. As a result, information volume of internet has increased exponentially [1]. Therefore, it is increasingly becoming difficult to retrieve specific information from the internet. Search engine plays a big role to retrieve information from internet [2][3]. Effective search result for a user given search string always increase search engine efficiency. Most of the search engines are available in the market that produced search results in two parts, i.e. one is highlighted part and the other one is main part. Most of the cases in the main part of their search results produced by appending title tag, URL and meta-tag information or first few words from the Web-page content. While searching of any information for few commonly used products like book, mobile handset, medicine, jewelry, etc., Web-searcher wants to know some basic attributes based on the product. Now, if we display these products basic attributes information in the search result instead of displaying meta-tag or first few words from the Web-page content, then no need to visit all the URLs displayed in the search result. As a result all the Web-searcher saves their time and Web-page download cost. In this paper, we have proposed a design and development mechanism of Ontology based domain specific Web-search engine for commonly used products using Resource Description Framework (RDF).
