Q: What is a Metasearch?

A: Every time you type in a query at a metasearch engine, they search a series of other search and content sites at the same time, compile their results, and display them either by source or by integrating them in a uniform manner, eliminating duplicates, and resorting them according to relevance. It's like using multiple search engines, all at the same time.

By using a metasearch engine, you get a snapshot of the top results from a variety of search engines (including a variety of types of search engines), providing you with a broad scope of information. Metasearch engines are tolerant of imprecise search terms or inexact use of operators, and tend to return fewer results, but with a greater degree of relevance. They're best used when you've got a general search, as metasearch engines return broad results. Instead of returning every possible result that contains your search term, metasearch will return the most trusted results on the Internet for your search. Metasearch engines also allow you to compare what kinds of results are available on different engine types (indexes, directories, pay-for-placement, etc), or to verify that you haven't missed a great resource provided by another site, other than your favourite search engine (acting as a backup). Overall, they're a great way to save time and find exactly what you're looking for!

Q: Why not use Google since its the best?

A: Google is a great search engine but it has some drawbacks.
1: Google ranks its results mainly on how many other sites link to what you are looking for, this started out as a good idea but now it is being abused by publishers who join link groups, so thier websites rank higher in googles rankings.
2: It currently being choked with MFA "Made for Adsense" sites, example have you ever done a search only to point you to a useless site with very little content then only to be refered to another MFA site then another whose only purpose is to get you to click on the ads so the publisher of these MFA's can make money.
3: It may take several months before a new site is indexed and displayed in a google search.
4: Google stores ip addresses, search terms, and websites visited all of which can be traced back to you.
5: Google has banned millions of good websites for thier own politcal reasons.
