Metasearch Tool

I chose the Metacrawler for the metasearch tool.  I used Organic Food and Health benefits for this search as well to get a comparison.  When I put in the stemming, Boolean operators, truncating, and phrases, it greatly reduced down the number of cites listed.  It had a lot of advanced options.  Five of those options were:

1. Language Options- There were at least 10 languages listed
2. Domain Options- You could chose what ever you wanted
3. Search Filter-  The choice to remove all or some of explicit content
4. Bold Search Terms - The key words would stand out on all  pages
5. Recent Researches - This tracks and displays your 15 most recent searches
