Abstract

This paper describes an investigation of 20 different meta‐search engines. Their features were characterised and classified into six distinct categories based on their functionality and use. The most used features and unique features were specified and explained in detail. The findings of this study will benefit both meta‐search‐engine developers and ordinary search users.
