Extractions: Meta-search engines (also know as multi-threaded engines) search several major engines at once. Meta-search engines do not crawl the Web or maintain a database of web pages. Instead, they act as a middle agent, passing on the query to the major engines and then returning the results. Because the major search engines often produce very different results, meta-search engines provide a quick way to determine which engines are retrieving the best match for your information need. Because search engines vary in ability to interpret complex searches, meta-search engines work best with simple searches. Dogpile searches 8 search engines and subject directories as well as newsgroups, business news, and newswires. Dogpile supports full Boolean logic and phrase searching. Vivisimo clusters results from 8 search engines and subject directories into convenient topic categories. Use implied Boolean logic (+/-) and phrase searching.

Extractions: Type in a natural language question, like "What is the state dog of Louisiana?" and Ask Jeeves will reword your question in a format that it understands and then look it up in a standard reference, like an encylopedia or the yellow pages. If it isn't successful there, it will run the search on a variety of search engines (altavista, excite, webcrawler) and display any results. Works very well on certain topics (try "Civil War").

Meta Search Engines meta search engines simultaneously search multiple search engines. They are alsosometimes referred to as parallel search engines, multithreaded search http://library.albany.edu/internet/meta.html
Extractions: Recommended Sites and Search Techniques Meta Search Engines Meta search engines simultaneously search multiple search engines. They are also sometimes referred to as parallel search engines, multithreaded search engines, or mega search engines Most meta engines return a single list of results from multiple sources, usually with the duplicate files removed. These engines retrieve a certain maximum number of files allowed by the individual engines it has searched, cut off after a certain point as the search is processed. The cut-off may be determined by the number of documents retrieved, or by the amount of time the meta engine spends at the other sites. Some of these services give the user a certain degree of control over these factors. All of this has two implications: Quick Tip!

Multiservice Search And Comparison Using The MetaCrawler There are also other parallel Web search services. In April, 1995 he createdthe metaCrawler, a parallel Web search metaservice. http://www.w3j.com/1/selberg.169/paper/169.html
Extractions: Oren Etzioni Standard Web search services, though useful, are far from ideal. There are over a dozen different search services currently in existence, each with a unique interface and a database covering a different portion of the Web. As a result, users are forced to repeatedly try and retry their queries across different services. Furthermore, the services return many responses that are irrelevant, outdated, or unavailable, forcing the user to manually sift through the responses searching for useful information. This paper presents the MetaCrawler , a fielded Web service that represents the next level up in the information ``food chain.'' The MetaCrawler provides a single, central interface for Web document searching. Upon receiving a query, the MetaCrawler posts the query to multiple search services in parallel, collates the returned references, and loads those references to verify their existence and to ensure that they contain relevant information. The MetaCrawler is sufficiently lightweight to reside on a user's machine, which facilitates customization, privacy, sophisticated filtering of references, and more. The MetaCrawler also serves as a tool for comparison of diverse search services. Using the MetaCrawler's data, we present a ``Consumer Reports'' evaluation of six Web search services: Galaxy[

Extractions: The best search engines access only about 16% of the visible Web, less than 1% of the invisible Web, so the next obvious step historically was to combine individual search engines. Thus, a metasearch engine typically rides on the back of established search engines. Your keywords are placed on several search engines at the one time, any duplication of results between the engines is eliminated, and the sites may be listed by degree of relevance to your query. Even so, the top 11 search engines combined cover only about 42% of the visible Web. 7.1 Umbrella sites

MetaCrawler combines and normalizes the confidence scores given to each reference by the services that return it. Mamma: The Mother of all Search Engines Mamma is a smart meta search engine which relies on the external databases of various Web-based sources. Mamma analyses your queries and properly formats the words for each source. Mamma will then organize the results into a uniform format, and presents them by relevance. The process is comparative to the time spent on any single search engine. SavvySearch SavvySearch is a meta-search tool designed to simultaneously send your query to multiple Internet search engines and return a complete set of results. You can request anywhere from 10 to 50 results from each engine that you query. SavvySearch also lets you restrict your searches to particular types of information, e.g., Web resources, People, and Academic. The search form for SavvySearch is available in several other languages.
