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: 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: 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: Custom search, custom search engine
Cons: N/A

Metacrawler reeks of panache. What more can be said of a search engine that lets you tweak custom colors and toggle objectionable searches through an adult channel? Metacrawler launches a full on assault on your search queries with a plethora of...

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...

Pros: Easy to use; better than most search engines
Cons: No non-adult content search feature.

Out of all of the search engines I have tried, I have only found one that has really actually please me every time. Metacrawler is definitely number one in my book.

Metacrawler is much like all of the other search engines. You type in the...

Pros: No more searching multiple engines...
Cons: Sometimes still too many results..

Metacrawler searches and cross references the results for you. You get the result once and a link to all engines it was found in, so all the time of sorting through the same results in different engines is saved. Google and Dogpile are great but if you...

Pros: Uncluttered format, effective.
Cons: Limited results, but who needs to fish through 200 results

Metacrawler can't be beat. Reading up on its history and how it works, you'll find that it uses superior methods to get you what you're looking for. Once you try it, you'll be hooked. It doesn't give you too much commercial junk, like Yahoo or the...

Pros: Usually fast service.
Cons: Sometime slow but not often.

During my time in college I was a Math major, a Chemistry major, and finally a History major. During the entire time I used Metacrawler to help me find the sites I needed to do my research.

Now that I have graduated and am coming back to get...

Pros: searches all major search engines, has MetaSpy, suggests keywords
Cons: doesn't have all the search engines (but how much more could you expect?!)

I used to use only specific search engines, such as yahoo or excite. One day, however, my friend informed me that metacrawler is much better. Metacrawler is a compilation of search engines, to maximize your findings. This is especially helpful when...

Pros: Almost always pulls up what I need, even with an odd request. Gets only the top hits.
Cons: Few search hits.

Metacrawler is an odd search engine. Instead of building their own directory of web pages, Metacrawler just searches other search engine, pulls up the most likely webpages and gives them to you. Rarely will you see more than 100 hits [I searched for...

Pros: Many Features In One Place
Cons: Limited Results From Other Engines

That is exactly what Metacrawler is and does. It goes beyond the common list of sites that the others provide, instead offering you the top searches from some of the top search engines on the Internet - all in one simple search. Simply doing a search...

Pros: Easy, Helpful
Cons: none

Recently, I was doing a search on Yahoo.com, and I was upset with the results, or more specifically, the lack thereof. What I was looking for simply wasn't there. My friend walked in the room, saw that I was using Yahoo, and pooh-poohed me. He then...

Pros: It's Accurate, Simple to Understand, Searchs other engines
Cons: None that I can see

I discovered this web service when I was still in high-school, my band teacher showed it to me and the idea of searching several websites at one time sounded great. Back in the day this site still had some problems, it often took up to a minute to...

Pros: Fast, Easy, Accurate
Cons: Advertisements.. but hey gotta make money somehow!

I have been a long time user of Metacrawler, since the early days when it was still in testing, it has definately come a long way!

So far Metacrawler is still my first choice for more acurate searching, it searches several web search engines...
