Meta Search Site MetaCrawler Unveils New Look, Features
 
 "Our Web Search team continues to improve our products and the fast, relevant results they deliver. The re- launch of MetaCrawler, as well as the addition of Google to the engines we search, are the latest examples of our efforts." 
York Baur
InfoSpace Executive Vice President, Wireline and Broadband.

MetaCrawler re-launched today with an updated design. Benefits of the new design include meta-search engine homepage and Web search results pages that are cleaner and easier-to-use and advertising components that are fewer, more targeted and less obtrusive, so that users are able to find the results they are looking for faster. 

"Today's MetaCrawler is much improved and we believe that our users will agree, as the enhancements are directly tied to their feedback," said York Baur, InfoSpace executive vice president, wireline and broadband. "Our Web Search team continues to improve our products and the fast, relevant results they deliver. The re-launch of MetaCrawler, as well as the addition of Google to the engines we search, are the latest examples of our efforts." 

The new MetaCrawler also now delivers InfoSpace's next generation meta-search technology,which was launched recently at both Excite (www.excite.com) and WebCrawler (www.webcrawler.com). 

InfoSpace's meta-search technology allows users to search multiple engines at once, returning comprehensive and highly relevant results fast. Because various search engines return better results for different types of queries, InfoSpace's proprietary meta-search algorithm, which is designed to identify the intent of a user's search, sorts the results accordingly and then displays a blended mix of highly relevant commercial and non-commercial results for a given search. 

MetaCrawler (www.metacrawler.com), one of the first search properties on the Internet, is a meta-search engine, which allows users to search multiple search engines at once, returning the most comprehensive and relevant results fast. MetaCrawler is part of the InfoSpace Network
(Nasdaq:INSP - News).
