Lee Giles NEC Research Institute, 4 Independence Way, Princeton, NJ 08540, U.S.A. and A number of useful and popular search engines attempt to maintain full text indexes of the World Wide Web (e.g. AltaVista ( http://www.altavista.digital.com ), Excite ( http://www.excite.com ), HotBot ( http://www.hotbot.com ), Infoseek ( http://www.infoseek.com ), Lycos ( http://www.lycos.com ), and Northern Light ( http://www.nlsearch.com )). However, searching the Web can still be a slow and tedious process. Limitations of the search services have led to the introduction of meta search engines, e.g. MetaCrawler [ ] and SavvySearch [ ]. A meta search engine searches the Web by making requests to multiple search engines such as AltaVista or Infoseek. The primary advantages of current meta search engines are the ability to combine the results of multiple search engines, and the ability to provide a consistent user interface for searching these engines [ ].

Extractions: Multiple Search Engines Multiple search engines query several other Web search engine databases in parallel. Of the many online multiple search engines, several of the best known are listed below. See also desktop client solutions further down on this page. Note the Problems with using multiple search engines before relying on their results. Multi-Search Engines (Online) Service Basic Boolean? Yes Dogpile Yes MetaFind Yes SavvySearch Yes MetaCrawler Yes See several of my columns for more information: Problems: These multiple search engines are a commendable effort; however, the problems still outweigh their benefits. All have significant limitations as a comprehensive search tool. They are subject to time outs, when search processing takes too long. Since most only retrieve the top 10-50 hits from each search engine, the total number of hits retrieved may be considerably less than found by doing a direct search on one of the search engines. Advanced search features on individual search engines are not usually available. Phrase and Boolean searching may not be properly processed or available. None of them search Northern Light and few search any of the Inktomi databases such as HotBot.

Extractions: Searching and Wandering the Web "How do I find X?" Turn to friendly spiders, robots, wanderers, and other web creepy crawlers... The Internet is huge, vast, and some might say, in horrific disarry. How do you find things in all of this? There is no one single index or tool to find everything and anything. However, there are some resources out there to make it a little easier. We've tried to organize the various search engines into similar categories for the ways in which they search and the scope of what they search. If you do not find a search type here, try the ever-growing list maintained at Yahoo or WebCrawler's List of Robots Or, if you like to be shown the ropes, take a walk with our webhound No matter what, you will end up having to do some exploring.... A "Meta-Search" will take your query and search for it by sending your request to other search engines, all in parallel. The "one-click" approach means doing all of this work from a single interface. Savvy Search has a single field for you to enter keywords and sends your request to more than 18 other major web search sites. SavvySearch has a built in mechanism to rank your search and send it to the most appropriate sites.

Extractions: The best search engines access only about 16% of the visible Web, less than 1% of the invisible Web, so the next obvious step historically was to combine individual search engines. Thus, a metasearch engine typically rides on the back of established search engines. Your keywords are placed on several search engines at the one time, any duplication of results between the engines is eliminated, and the sites may be listed by degree of relevance to your query. Even so, the top 11 search engines combined cover only about 42% of the visible Web. 7.1 Umbrella sites
