The Web's breadth and depth make it increasingly difficult to navigate as each day passes. Conventional search engines do an admirable job keeping up with the Web's growth. However, with more than a billion Web pages now in existence, the sheer amount of information makes it nearly impossible for a single search service to keep pace. Metasearch engines, like InfoSpace's MetaCrawler® (www.metacrawler.com), leverage the strength of the Web's best search engines to search, on average, more than twice as much of the Internet as a single search engine.
