DMOZ - Computers: Internet: Searching: Metasearch

Metasearch

These sites do not crawl the web themselves to build an index. Instead they allow searches to be sent to several search engines all at once. The results are then unified. They may either present results from each engine one after the other (parallel search), or blend them, removing duplicates.
