Meta-Search Engines


Now that you have had a chance to search through various search engines, you are now going to explore meta-search engines. A meta search engine is one that searches various search engines at one time. The benefit of a meta search engine is to enable the user to use various search engines to search the same topic from one place. There is no need to have multiple tabs open! Your assignment is to search through the various meta search engines below, pick one to explore in more depth. Complete a search and look through the results from the various websites. Comment on at least 2 strengths and at least 2 weaknesses of the meta search engine you chose to explore. Be sure to tell me which one you chose.

    I liked Mr.Sapo the most because it had different catoagories which had different search engines in them

    Dogpile is nice because it uses more than one search engine and because you actually have heard of the websites that come up so you no the are legit. Its bad because it is doesnt have as many extra things like a translator like google does, and because it doesnt do much to help you expand your search
