Wikipedia.org defines a metasearch engine as a metasearch engine is a search engine that sends user requests to several other search engines and returns the results from each one. They allow users to enter their search criteria only one time and access several search engines simultaneously.
Sounds intresting does'n it? Since you are conducting a search on more than one search engine you signifiantly increase the likelyhood of finding the page that you are looking for without a lot of effort. Most metasearch engines will also display their search results according to relevance, eliminating duplicated results and showing the top results at the top of the page.
Now that you know how to search smarter do a test using eighter www.yahoo.com or www.google.com and then doing the same search on a metasearch engine such as www.laplounge.com
