Rather than do metasearches, this site aggregates over 150 search engines
and allows the user to conduct one-at-a-time searches in as many as s/he
wishes. This method enables easy comparison of search results for a
topic. It also introduces users to many new or fairly unknown search
engines. Beware though, the opening screen can confuse. The tabs
above the search field are categories of search engine types. Thus, "web" is
not a list of all engines available. Also, phrase or adjacency searching
is not carried out in all search engines.
