Which Meta Search Engine do you like ?

[Duke]

Yes, right, there are also search engines called “meta search engine”. From the article “ Metacrawlers and Metasearch Engines “ of Chris Sherman on Search Engine Watch I just know the concept of  “ meta search engine”.

Honestly, however, I don’t find what I like in the list including Dogpile, MetaCrawler ... from the article . I want to have one which can pull out results from 3 main engines Google, Bing and Yahoo at the same time and don’t need the results to be blended together because I need to know where the results come from for my SEO purpose.

Anyway this article inspired my intention to look for good meta search engines ... I keep looking for ... until googlebye. This one can meet my all needs although it’s rather simple. It’s OK because I just need a simple one.

In the process of finding I also noticed another engine -- Forum Search Engine, boardreader and omgili are the biggest two. They’re great tools to search in forums.

Do you know and use meta search engines ? And which one ? Your thoughts pls.

I guess webcrawler is the commonly use meta search engine.
Web crawlers are mainly used to create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by a search engine, that will index the downloaded pages to provide fast searches.

What about Turbo Scout? It is probably the biggest meta search engine out there as it grabs information from other meta search engine like iThaki, Mamma, etc. So you can search for web, images, news, products, blogs etc. using it.

AS for me, I like WebCrawler! This is a metasearch engine that blends the top search results from Google Search and Yahoo! Search. WebCrawler also provides users the option to search for images, audio, video, news, yellow pages and white pages.
