Abstracts: MetaSearch Engine is a multitasking search engine which includes both search engine and metaSearch engine characteristics with additional capability of retrieval of search result sets that were previously classified by users. It enables the user to gather results from its own search index as well as from one or more search engines like Google, Yahoo or MSN metasearch engines, databases or any such kind of information retrieval (IR) programs. MetaSearch is an emerging feature of automated search and information retrieval systems which combines the capabilities of computer search programs with results classification made by a human. MetaSearch is a way to take advantage of the power of multiple search engines with a flexibility not seen in traditional metasearch engines.
