There are some interesting newcomers to the metasearch space, and in some cases they’re teaching the old dogs new tricks.
Scour, for instance, takes customizability to a new level. It offers users the ability to determine how search results are sorted, to see at a glance how well the sites are ranked in the major search engines, and to leave comments about Web sites as well as to see the comments others have left.
Kartoo presents results from the major search engines visually. A small thumbnail of each search result gives you an idea of how the Web page looks, and a lengthy summary of each Web site appears under the thumbnail. Numerous options allow you to customize everything from content to the look and feel of the site.
Yippy will not only pull pages from the major search engines but also organize those pages into categories. The categories, presented on the left side of the screen, can help you drill down to more specific information about your search term. It’s another filtering device that aims to get you the information you really need with a minimum of unproductive clicking.
