A metasearch engine is a special type of search engine that searches multiple search engines at once and presents the results in one combined list. It does not focus on a specific subject matter area like a specialized directory or examine only newsgroup messages. It also does not offer subscribers all-day information on their desktops or compile newspapers, magazines, and journals.
