But not just any baseball--she wants one autographed by someone from their hometown team that was playing in the majors when her father was born.
-The first search engine that Lexie uses produces no useful results. Lexie knows of other search engines. But she then thinks that using a(n) ____ might help her cover her bases by checking multiple search engines at once.

D) clumping search engine

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A metasearch engine searches multiple search engines at once, which would be helpful for Lexie to cover all her bases in finding an autographed baseball. A web directory is a categorized list of links while a clearinghouse is a centralized location for information exchange. There is no such thing as a clumping search engine.
