A Meta-search engine is a tool that
combines the power of multiple search engines. It searches several engines
at the same time. Dogpile is an example.
1. Enter www.dogpile.com
2. Click in the search text box, then type Belize annual
rainfall.
3. You can choose how many seconds you are willing to wait.
4. Click fetch.
5. Examine your results. Can you tell how many hits you got? Can you
find the same web site from your former search? What do your results look
like? Do you think it is easier or more difficult to view these results?
6. Try the same search with Ixquick
or www.ask.com
They are also meta-search engines.
