Confused? Let me give you an example. Let\'s say there is a meta search engine you
have recently found that searches two engines, say Google and Yahoo. It searches
both of these search engines and then returns the combined results to you, without
any duplicates (results that appear on both engines). Sounds neat , huh? Well, there
are pros and cons with meta searching that the user should be aware of in order to
make his searching as productive as possible.

THE PROS
Meta searching is fast, and saves considerable time for the user since you may query
several engines and directories simultaneously rather than typing in a single query
in every search engine that you wish to get results. Webmasters will find meta
searching extremely valuable in checking their site\'s page listings, backlinks,
keyword ranking, etc. Any other profession that is research-oriented would also find
meta searching a must-have.

THE CONS
Most, not all, meta searchers do not allow site submissions. This is because most do
not maintain their own database of page listings. They simply get results from other
search engines. Because most meta searchers query anywhere from 4 to 12 engines and
directories simultaneously, and not all of them will allow Boolean searching, many
meta searchers therefore will not allow Boolean searching. (Boolean seaching is the
use of operators such as AND, OR, quotation marks, and plus/minus symbols.)

THE META SEARCH ENGINES
Meta search engines come in a variety of forms. The standard meta searcher simply
queries several engines and returns the results on a single page. Others return
results from each engine queried separately, either dividing them on a single page
or opening multiple
browser windows, each containing the results from a different engine. And another
type, generally known as all-in-one search, also allows you to query many different
engines, but just one engine at a time.
