Metasearch engines search the databases of several search engines at a time (e.g., Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN Search, and Ask.com).

Usually, you have little control over search options.

 Best for an overview of your topic on the Internet, seeing which search engines will produce the best results, and for simple searches.

Other metasearch engines: Copernic.com, SurfWax.com, Clusty.com, and MetaCrawler.com
