LinuxLinks.com launches Linux Metacrawler

Mar 6, 2000 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — views

LinuxLinks.com is proud to announce a metacrawler service to complement its existing search facilities.

The metacrawler allows you to search for Linux related enquiries from the following search engines: Aol, DirectHit, Excite, Lycos, Msn, Netscape and Yahoo. In addition, the web search facility allows you to make specialised targeted searches from hundreds of dedicated sites. For example a search in our Usenet category will target AltavistaNews, Deja, Jumbo, RemarQ, ShareWare and TalkWay or a search in our MP3 section will target Astraweb, MP3, Mp3Lycos, OthNet, PlayDude & ToLook4.

The metacrawler service is available at http://web.firstlinux.net/ and will be incorporated into the FirstLinux search engines shortly. Sites are not verified before inclusion in web crawler databases (unlike LinuxLinks.com) so we cannot guarantee the quality of information provided by the engine. This is the search to try if you cannot find what you want in the LinuxLinks database.

Linux Metacrawler represents an addditional free service provided by the Firstlinux.com network.
