Mamma
"The
mother of all search engines" simultaneous queries 10 major search
engines and properly formats the words and syntax for each source being
probed. Mamma then creates a virtual database, organizes the results into
a uniform format and presents them by relevance and source.
Copernic 6.1
Functions
in much the same way as MAMMA though one downloads a 2Meg file to perform
simultaneous and multiple search engine processing of a search. Provides
relevancy scores for each result and removes duplicates automatically.
