Liste
Of interesting Sites about metasearch
|
| Metasearch does
not have only advantages. here is a list of functions
that are lost when going from a traditional search
engine to metasearch. |
|
-Limited max of results
Most metasearch engine have
limited number of results. This is due to the
fact that those site use other search engine
which impose a limit on use of their results.
-Precision lost
Because metasearch engine are
using different search engines , they lose all
advanced function of a traditional search engine
making precise search impossible.
-Mixed results (paid search
results / real position search results)
As we can see in metasearch
grid function at the top, a lots of metasearch
engine mix pay per clic results with real results.
This can be see as false information because it
is showing you search results that are sonsored
as if they where real search engine results. Publicity
can be good, but you have to know it is.
