The WSBA has no control over the linked sites and make no promises concerning their value or content. This engages a search engine built into the browser. It is not the best search engine, but can be the most convenient. Allows adding one or more terms to a search creating more focused results. The latest from the University of Washington-based metacrawler.
Inference lists results grouped by subject, rather than by search engine or in one giant list.
It uses Alta Vista, Excite, InfoSeek, Lycos, WebCrawler and Yahoo. Allows you to search the standard search engine choices or a huge number of specialty sites. One of the oldest meta search, MetaCrawler began in July 1995 at the University of Washington. Enter a query then select a search engine from those listed and the results will pop up in a new window. Allows searches of up to six major search engines and provides broken link detection.
