Metasearchers
|
Search engines have rapidly become very important tools for users of
the web. There are now so many of them that users are asking, which is
the best? Can I use several at once to compare the results?
This page lists the "meta" search services and other collections of
search engines.
|
The following 'metasearchers' submit queries to several search engines
in parallel:
- MetaCrawler
The MetaCrawler sends your queries to different services:
Lycos,
WebCrawler,
InfoSeek,
Excite,
Alta Vista, and
Yahoo.
The MetaCrawler works by querying a number of existing,
free search engines, organizes the results into a uniform format, and
displays them. With the MetaCrawler, you also have the option of
scoring the hits, so that the sorted list that is displayed
can be sorted by a number of different ways, such as locality, region,
and organization.
The following offer the user a choice between several search engines:
