thank u

A meta engine uses the search results of other search engines such as Google, Yahoo! MSN etc.. to bring forward what I call a taster of results from each one and lists them on a comprehensive search page. For SEO purposes, the two most important Meta tags you have to pay attention to are the "description" and the "keyword" tags.

A meta search engine is a search tool that sends user requests to several other search engines or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source.

It searches multiple search engines from a single search page and its a web-based service that aggregates data from a number of search engines. Provides meta tag information in the context of search engine optimization.

Hi everyone,
           A search engine that queries other search engines and then combines the results that are received from all. In effect, the user is not using just one search engine but a combination of many search engines at once to optimize Web searching. For example, Dogpile is a meta search engine.

Rightly said. Dogpile is the example of meta search engine.

Metasearch means instead of getting results from one search engine, you'll be getting the best combined results from a variety of engines, and not just any engines, but industry leading engines like Google, Yahoo.

Meta search engines are search engine tools that pass queries on to many other search engines and/or directories and then summarize all the results in one handy interface.

Many people use meta search engines to get even more comprehensive results for their search query; for example, a simple search for "puppy" brings back images, videos, and multiple content suggestions.

A meta search engine searches multiple search engines from a single search page.

Meta search engines work in various ways. With some, a single, simultaneous search retrieves results from multiple sources, usually with the duplicates removed. Others offer a separate search of multiple content sources, allowing you to select the source(s) you want for each search.

Hope this help you!!
