| Parallel Search Engines: Introduction | Exploration | Refelection | ||
|
When you were working your way through those tutorials on how search engines work, you probably ran across the term "MetaSearch Engines" or Parallel Search Engines. Parallel Search Engines are search tools that allow you to search multiple search engines with one query. They can save a tremendous amount of time and often turn up hits that you might miss if you use just one search engine. You will now examine several parallel search engines. If you are interested, you can explore the Copernic Search Agent, software that is downloaded to your own computer to coordinate and manage parallel searches using the top web search engines and web indexes. In this exploration, you will use the same general topic you used with the search engines and will examining the "hits" returned by each of the parallel search engines. Look for similarities and differences… Are the webpages displayed at the top of the list consistent from one parallel search engines to the next?
