Meta Searchers Meta searchers have no internal databases of their own. Rather, they allow you to query many individual search engines simultaneously by sending your search terms to multiple services at the same time. When using a meta searcher, you do not have full access to each search engine's tools for refining a search, so the results may be less accurate than if you use each service individually. Since most meta searchers retrieve only 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. On the other hand, meta searchers enable you to cover many search engines in one step, and will also eliminate duplicate links found in more than one database.
