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: 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: Vastness,Widespread Accessability
Cons: Organization
Metacrawler is undoubtedly one of the best search engines available on the internet. It's most beneficial feature, and most unique, is how it doesn't simply search one database for information, but instead searches several at one time. When a person...

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

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: fast and accurate
Cons: none
Metacrawler is a great search engine that uses meta tags. They can use a word, a phrase, or even all of what you type in the field for keywords. They gather information from many of the top 40 search engines. Many with names like: About, Alta Vista,...

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...
