« BPI sues people | Main | Google Desktop: security warning » October 18, 2004Jux2 meta searchPersonally, I think that meta-search is the way forward. Ask has great clustering technology, but often this can be seen as useless in the commercial environment, as commercial competitors certainly do not link to one another as freely as free reference resources do. And although Google has great indexing technology, and generally returns "good" results, the general feeling in the webmaster community seems to be that the results could be better - if only Google would stop fiddling with the algorithm. Combine both with Yahoo! and MSN and you have a consensus of opinion - just as pages are rated on being "approved" by other sites via links, so are results "approved" by running them via different search enignes that master different elements of search. There are a number of meta-search engines out there, but many do not seem to be catching the user imagination - a predilection for "sponsored results" on top of organic results kills a search engine's usefulness, in my opinion. So what does the Jux2 meta-search engine have that the others don't? USer control - you can select which of the other search engines you would like to get results from, and even order them to your preference. Meta-search is looking much more promising.
