Meta Search Engine as WikiPedia defines is a search engine, which gets results from many other search engines and displays them as one. Sputtr is not a Meta search engine. But it is one page from where people can search various websites like Google, Yahoo, Youtube, Flickr, Technorati etc.. It is an easy website to build for anyone who knows PHP. What appeals is their excellent interface. Also, they have 5 languages available :
- English
- Deutsch
- Francais
- Italiano
- Chinese
At this time i’d also like to mention VidSav, video searching website, which searches a looooooong list of video sharing websites. There are about 100. What is better is that they open the results in a frame so that it is easy for users to search other sites too. They also use Google custom Search, to search the 100 websites and display the results as one.
I love it! Great site recommendation. Meta search is blowing up and constantly gaining momentum. My favorite application I’ve seen is travel. Sites like Sidestep are a great way to get much better deals overall than the big guys like Travelocity and Expedia. Not to mention you negate all the booking fees which is the bane of the big online travel agencies. Anyway thanks for Sputtr, I will have to play with that site some when I get a chance. Always nice to find something new. BTW Great looking new site.
Since, i’m from India, travel sites are pretty less popular here. So i have started off with web-related sites. Thanks for that nice comment 8)
