Meta search engine? Search Directory?

Hi everyone

In this post, i am going to introduce 2 different search engine. So what are the other search engine do you know that are available other than Google and Yahoo? Some of you might say Bing. Well what else besides that? Anyone know?

I am going to show you what is call a meta search engine. I am not sure if you have heard about it before but i would like to call it the "Power search engine" as it is a search engine which searches the search engine. what you i mean by that you might ask. Meta search engine is a search engine where by you input your search topic into the search bar and it will search other search engine and compile it together. 1 example of a meta search engine is MetaCrawler.

 The above picture is the home page of a Meta search engine from metacrawler.com. However, this search engine does not allow you to search it specifically like what i have posted last week about how to search the search engine specifically by using AND/ OR and also brackets.

Next search engine that i am going to introduce is called the Search Directory. As the name speaks for itself, the website have it's own directory where by it separates you search into more specific type like sport, world, game and many more. so if you were to search about games, just click on games and it will specify on the different types of games. So for my topic on Genetically Modified Food, i would have to go to Science>Agriculture>Biotechnology> Genetically Modified Plant or Corn and Maize.

The above search directory is from google.

So if i were to select a search engine among the 2 that i have just introduced, i would definitely go for the meta search engine. It not just gives small results, it also give me relevant results from different search engine and it saves lots of time as i only have to search it once on the meta search engine rather than to go all the search engine to search for the same topic.
