Hello,

Compare your search results from many different search engine options or examine how several search engines powered by the same database (Google or Inktomi for instance) will treat the same URL.

Test drive our metasearch engine and let us know what think!

Cheers!

Can I suggest that you put a check all button so that you don't have to go through and check them all off.

Hello,

It would not be prudent to have a select all on any interface because interface 1 & 2 only take up to 4 choices. Interface 3 would search internet cams and mp3 sites which would not work for most search results!

Ciao~

Interesting - Tried a few searches. You may want to allow a pop-out function so that users can have the ability of full screen on each engine

This concept is very interesting. Could your result be displayed tiled up in the browser or is this programatically impossible? If you could tile many search engines, you could fit at least 12 search engine results on one screen. If you could do that, I am sure you can put as many rows as you want with 4 columns.
Very Interesting...

Yes DMOZ is problematic. I too had to submit lots of times, getting error pages back sometime (server problems).

After about 1,000 trys at once every two weeks I managed.

Don't expect tons of Traffic.

Traffic Seeker may do the job for you:-

Hi,

Interesting idea, seems to work ok BUT you might want to read this though http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips...r/killer.shtml I have a popup stopper and was unable to get the results page.

Its not a big problem but if you want to reach as many visitors as possible you will have to account for things that stop pages displaying :)

TrafficProducer is literally full of crap with everything written above. 1000 tries...server error...how come I did not log any of this CRAP! What a franologist!

Interface 1 has changed to 3 results for better viewing...

All the search engine options are in alphabetical order now as well!

Take a test drive, let us know your opinion!

Regards!
