Excite Meta-Search Engines Specialty Databases Practice Other Search Tutorials Researching Companies Tutorial ... Contact Us 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. Click the links below for practice exercises. 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.

Directories are meant to be browsed, but they can also be searched. Directories differ from search engines in one major way - the human element involved in collecting and updating the information.

Back to Internet Tutorials Searching the Internet: 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: These engines return only a limited number of the documents available to be retrieved from the individual engines they have searched Results retrieved by these engines can be highly relevant, since they are usually grabbing the first items from the relevancy-ranked list of hits returned by the individual search engines Quick Tip!

36. 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

Multi-Engine Search and Comparison Using the MetaCrawler Erik Selberg Oren Etzioni Abstract: 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[

Introduction Directories General Subject Directories General ... Subject-Specific resources 7. Meta Search Engines 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 Many metasearch engines can be accessed through: Beaucoup: Meta and Parallel Engines http://www.beaucoup.com/1metaeng.html 7.2 Individual sites The following are not listed in Beaucoup: byteSearch http://www.bytesearch.com C4 total search technology http://www.c4.com/ Copernic http://www.copernic.com/ c/net Search.com http://www.search.com/

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.
