MetaCrawler is a search engine of search engines. After you have identified the specific words you want to research, you can refine your search by using MetaCrawler's advanced search syntax. You can specify that a series of words be treated as a "string" by enclosing them within quotation marks. You can also specify words that must appear as well as those that must not appear by prefixing them with a plus sign or a minus sign.

In the following example, pages will be selected if they contain the string "rain forest climates" and the word temperate and not the word tropical:

"rain forest climates" -tropical +temperate

Once you have refined your search parameters, MetaCrawler activates six other major search engines and compiles from each a list of the ten most relevant matches.

The ETE team has complied the following list of links for you.
