Meta Search
Not all search engines were created equal. Just take a look at the Search Engine Watch Awards and the Pandia Search Engine Awards. Pay close attention to the former's Best Meta Search Engine and the latter's Best Metasearch Site because these allow users to search multiple search engines by inputting their terms just once (Pandia, of course, has its own Powersearch, but Search Engine Watch does not mention it and ethics probably prevented Pandia from nominating its own award-winning site). Try out the winners by clicking on the images on the right. For information on just how much search engine results differ, see "The search engines are more different than people think."
