META Search Engines

A META Search Engine utilizes information from other Search Engines to get its listings, rather than through its own efforts; in other words, Meta search engines are powerful tools that search multiple search engines simultaneously। Unlike crawler-based search engines such as Google, AllTheWeb, AltaVista and others, meta search engines generally do not build and maintain their own web indexes. Instead, they use the indexes built by others, aggregating and often post-processing results in unique ways.
