Meta-Search
Engine Test Meta Search Engine Test The
best way is to find some Google failures, and compare the results with meta-search
engines. God - Google has a dead-site at #1, and PHP-Nuke coming
up in second place, thanks to some cheeky Google-bombing. I was hoping for the
official sites of religious organizations, or quality papers on the general topic,
or an amazing encyclopedic site. Here's what I got: Results explained: - Meta-search engines that used
double or triple doses of Google definitely suffered, but still did better than
Google.
- Cute Doggie did well because of the large representation of directories.
The top of row of numbers relates to my personal opinion of what
the top 20 should be, based on all the results I saw: 1. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA:
