Metasearching - Thing #12


Years ago I used Metacrawler and Dogpile all the time, but dropped them as soon as Google hit the market. I was glad for the opportunity to revisit them, and to try out some new metasearch engines I'd not heard of before. I loved Kartoo's graphics, but personally prefer the simplicity of Clusty's Googlesque homepage and easy-to-follow clustering categories. As a matter of fact, I have it as a link on my ROR page. I'd seen the Search Engines Features Chart before and had found it helpful, so I posted it on my Smart Search Webpage. Clicking Quintura brought up an error page, so I'm not sure about that one, and MusicPlasma looked interesting, but I didn't want to set up an account.

About Me

My photo
Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....
