Googling is synonymous with searching. Google’s reach is just over 60% of the online world, Yahoo (about 20%) and MSN (near 10%) make up the bulk of the remaining two major players.
But did you know that all search is not created equal? In fact if you conduct the same search on these “big 3″ you are unlikely to see similar results. In fact, a recent study showed you are essentially getting “hosed” if you only search on one. But searching 3 times and combining the results is a royal pain in the …. er, mouse.
Introducing METASEARCHING… This is a perfect solution to the multi search problem and basically it’s a search engine search engine. Yup, that was twice. The two main players in the field of metasearch are www.dogpile.com and www.jux2.com
Both are great metasearch tools and both will search across multiple search engines providing you with a much richer and more appropriate set of choices. But don’t take my word for it… try it for yourself and see the difference metasearching makes.
