Gimme 10 Metasearch Engines
Filed in archive Using Search Engines by noel on December 26, 2007

Metasearch engines, which generate results from a multitude of search engines and directories, are pretty useful much of the time. Here are 10 worth exploring metasearch engines with their accompanying info:
1. Clusty - "Clusty queries several top search engines, combines the results, and generates an ordered list based on comparative ranking...But what really makes Clusty unique is what happens after you search. Instead of delivering millions of search results in one long list, our search engine groups similar results together into clusters."
2. Dogpile - "dogpile
puts the power all the leading search engines together in one search box to deliver the best combined results. The process is more efficient and yields more relevant results." 3. Excite - "We gather results from the top engines in the business, and compile them to give you the best possible results for your search. It's a pretty simple equation, and it means you get all the top results from the leading search engines on the Web."
4. Info - is a metasearch engine that utilizes both major search engines and directories to drag its results from. The site presents the organic results on the left side and the sponsored results on the right.
5. Ixquick - "An Ixquick result is awarded one star for every search engine that chooses it as one of the ten best results for your search. So a five star result means that five search engines agreed on the result."
6. Kartoo - The site is highly graphical, sporting results as a "map". Hovering over any of the results then gives more info about that result in the upper left corner, overlaying the Topics list.
7. Mamma - "The search engines Mamma.com queries often return duplicate results. Instead of simply eliminating the duplicates as many metasearch engines may do, we use this information to rank our results. Each duplicate search result is considered a 'vote' for that result. Pages with the highest number of votes go at the top of our result set."
8. Metacrawler - Using Infospace's engine, the site find the balance between commercial and non-commercial results.
9. Myriad - The site can put more weight on some engines than others. It then presents the output in several tabs.
10. Zuula - This is a metasearch engine that falls into the non-blended style, in which each engine's results are presented separately as tabs. But look for interesting features, you'll be fascinated.
Choose what metasearch engine fits you right.
