Abstract

In spite of their size, the major Web indexes are not comprehensive. Considers approaches carrying out comprehensive searches, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. In the single search tool approach, users search the largest of the databses one by one, using the command language uniqe to each to increase the precision of the esearch. In the megasearch approach, search engines use 1 form that simultaneously seands a single query to a number of search engines and then presents the results. Inference Find, Dogpile and MetaFind are examples of good metasearch engines
