Meta search engines search using the same search engines that you and I use every day, but launch your search on many different search engines at the same time, bringing back all the results to one page. Given that no search engine's spiders have indexed the entire world wide web, meta search engines offer a real value at the front end of a search project when you are trying to assess what is available. Meta search tools are also excellent for the "peer search" technique, an important aspect of "Craibian Philosophy", invented by Bill Craib of AIRS. swatrecruiting's meta search engine section gives you access to the best meta search engines.
