Ixquick: a Powerful Metasearch Engine

Ixquick.com is a metasearch engine that has been around since 2000. What makes Ixquick unique is that it searches 13 of the most well-known search engines and directories and returns the Top 10 results from each search engine.

Each time a matching site appears in one of the other search engines and directories it is assigned a star. Ixquick prioritizes results by relevance of keywords and removes duplicates. Therefore, the stars indicate that multiple search engines have found the same results. A large number of stars indicate that the site is most likely to be relevant to one's search.

Ixquick.com searches the following:

  • Adobe PDF
  • Ask Jeeves/Teoma
  • Avaya PDF
  • EntireWeb
  • FindWhat
  • Gigablast
  • Go
  • LookSmart
  • MSN
  • Netscape
  • Open Directory
  • Overature
  • WiseNut
