MetaCrawler.com utilizes metasearch technology to compile results from
many of the Web's major search properties, delivering more relevant and
comprehensive results every time you search. By accessing multiple search
engines for each query, MetaCrawler.com provides you with a richer and more
relevant spectrum of results than you would from using any single search engine.
The search results you receive are a combination of the top commercial
(sponsored advertising) and non-commercial (algorithmic) results from the
most popular search engines on the Web. MetaCrawler’s metasearch technology
combines the top ranking search results from each of the separate search
engines based on your specific query. The blend of sponsored and non-sponsored
results for a given search term depends on the nature of the term, but sponsored
results are always clearly identified with a "Sponsored" or similar designation like this:
MetaCrawler.com web search is designed to identify the intent of a user's search and
results are generally listed in order of relevance as they are received from the
various search engine providers. The specific ranking and mixture of sponsored and
non-sponsored results will depend on the nature of your search. For example, if you
are searching for information about the prices of digital cameras and enter the term
"digital camera prices," the results will generally include more sponsored results and
include commercial Web pages containing information on the prices businesses are offering
cameras for sale. If, on the other hand, you are searching for academic or general research
purposes and enter the term "digital camera technology," the results will be weighted more
toward articles, information and other non-commercial results about the technology behind digital cameras.
