Wikipedia.org defines a metasearch engine as a metasearch
engine is a search engine that sends user requests to
several other search engines and returns the results from
each one. They allow users to enter their search criteria
only one time and access several search engines
simultaneously.
Sounds intresting does’n it? Since you are conducting a
search on more than one search engine you signifiantly
increase the likelyhood of finding the page that you are
looking for without a lot of effort. Most metasearch engines
will also display their search results according to
relevance, eliminating duplicated results and showing the
top results at the top of the page.
Now that you know how to search smarter do a test using
eighter www.yahoo.com or www.google.com and then doing the
same search on a metasearch engine such as www.laplounge.com
