Searching the Web

Search Engine task

After a bit of research in regards to the search engine task i completed tonight, i changed my view on why Copernic returned only a small number of searches.

I read through my text book titled 'The Internet' (Thomson Course Technology, Gary P. Schneider and Jessica Evans) and came to the conclusion that a Meta-Search Engine such as Copernic combines the strengths of various search engines utilising the most relevant responses from each of those search engines. A meta search engine does not have a data base of information, however takes your search query and searches through other engines to find the information you are looking for.
