Publisher review:Meta Search - start a metasearch service from your own web-site With this perl script you can start a metasearch service from your own web-site. Metasearch queries are performed by a parallel querying of numerous search engines, merging and sorting their results and returning the resulted set to the client.
Features:
- Web based Admin Panel.
- Templates usage. You can control footer, header, etc. The template system allows inclusion of local files, script outputs and off-site content.

- Browse results clustered by most frequently occurred phrase.
- Stars displayed next to the result's title according to the number of url duplicates.
- Summary of what results each search engine returned is available.
- You can add more search engines to the software by developing/building add-on modules through a module building web form and/or perl programming knowledge about regular expressions. There are modules Make, Update and Test functions.
- You can update/test your already made search engine add-on modules.
- Modules currently included (same like in the demo): GigaBlast, EntireWeb, Dmoz, Searchfeed.
- You can restrict access to the software by IP address, http referer host.
- An option to restrict the used CPU resources per module to protect from bad regular expressions (Unix only).
- You can change affiliate codes for a search engine without a module rebuild but just from Admin Panel.
- You can get results not only from the first search engine results pages but from all other giving you the possibility to make maximum deep searches.

- An option to rotate the http requests on random basis through a list of http proxy servers.

- An option to try several times to connect to remote sites if there are some connectivity problems.
- Supports access, error and counter logs.
- Possibility to sort results by any field.( like sorting sponsored links by bid cost )
- Free add-on modules updates as long as this software is distributed.
