Metacrawler

Metacrawler has never let me down yet; in a nutshell, if Metacrawler can't find what I'm looking for on the Internet, nothing can. It not only searches for the information you want itself, it also sends your request to several other search engines. It...

The thing I like best about Metacrawler is that it uses nine of the top search engines on the web to find results. These search engines include Google, Looksmart,Inktomi, Ask Jeeves, About, Overture, FindWhat, FAST, and Teoma. Why use a single search...

Pros: Pleasing layout; many options
Cons: For all its options, it failed me in its main purpose-- search many search engines

While we tend to use one or two search engines out of habit, and we may know that some search engines are better for certain types of searches than others, there are times when we want to search the search engines for what we need. It's at times like...

Pros: Brings back exactly what you're looking for.
Cons: Takes a little bit of time to load results.

Metacrawler has got to be the Big Mama of them all,
When it comes to search engines on the Internet!
Especially if you want to find something specific on the net,
This search engine does the job.

What makes Metacrawler...

Pros: Fast, accurate, easy to use
Cons: Poor non-U.S. searching.

Background
I have used the internet heavily now for many years.

Who it Suits and does not Suit
It suits most users looking for specific often hard-to-find information rapidly.

It does not suit non-U.S. users...

Pros: searches all the major engines at once.
Cons: nothing here that google doesn't do better

Metacrawler is a good meta search tool.

But it's another great example of what happens to a company or site that tries to be too much to too many people.

It started out as a grad student project at the University of Washington - the...

Pros: Searches many directories to combine all websites out there.
Cons: Has some advertising.

This was the first search engine I ever used when I first came to the Internet. It found hundreds of links on the topics I was looking up. The only problem was that there were hundreds of them. It seems to give about a 50% rate of accuracy, so out of 10...

Pros: It is very fast compare to other search engines.
Cons: Nothing as such.

www.metacrawler.com is a dependable search engine when it come to searching for specific information in the cyber media. It is also very fast compare to other available search engines. Metacrawler never let me down for almost a year now.

Pros: choice of "and/or" or "phrase", effective, fast
Cons: not good for image/mp3 search

Metacrawler is the best search engine out there because it combines several search engines in one for a very efficient and accurate search. It gives you the option of searching for "any" of the words, "all" of them, or as a...

Pros: easy and accurate
Cons: none that I can think of?

I like Metacrawler. It is the only search engine that I have bookmarked. I do not get too many results, and oftentimes, the results I do get point me towards a better search query that points me directly where I want to go.
When I go to other search...

Pros: Great results, many topics
Cons: none

Metacrawler is THE best search engine on the internet today. I haven't really scoured the internet for great search engines, but I have been to yahoo, excite, aol, compuserve, altavista, google, and many more, but metacrawler is THE best. Metacrawler...

Pros: speed, accuracy, custom features
Cons: none that i foresee

FOr some reason i am in the opinion writing mood today regarding search engines. FOr someone who attempts, usually in vain, to do all his work from the comfort of his computer, i must say that this is an important arena for me.....and what better way to...

Pros: Good interface, thorough searches
Cons: None

BILL'S METACRAWLER REVIEW

I was once a Yahoo person. I had absolutely no idea about the plethora of other search engines out on the web. Then, one day when I was searching for information needed for a school project, another student...

Pros: Excellent search capabilities, excellent advanced search options
Cons: occasional dead sites, depending on how advanced you search is it may be a bit slow

Once you use Metacrawler you will never stop. It does not replace other search engines, it uses them! It has several advanced search capabilities, including some simple selections on the main page. There are some dead sites, but for the most part the...
