Use a Metasearch Engine

SUMMARY: You may find better results by using metasearch engines - search the web using multiple search engines simultaneously.

Why use just one search engine at a time when you can use many of them at once? This is the concept behind Metasearch engines, allowing you to query several of the Internet's most popular search engines at one time. This may provide a greater number of results and show you sites you would not normally visit, as some sites show up high in certain search engines but maybe not the one you normally use.

Some metasearch engines show results from each search engine in a different section, while others combine the results into one big list.

You may have luck running your queries on the following sites:

DogPile - http://www.dogpile.com/

Highway 61 - http://www.highway61.com/

IxQuick - http://www.ixquick.com/

Mamma - http://www.momma.com/

MetaCrawler - http://www.metacrawler.com/
