Get Better Results, Easier WebCrawler uses innovative metasearch technology to search the Internet's top search engines, including Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, About, Teoma, FindWhat, LookSmart, and many more. With one single click, WebCrawler searches the best results from the combined pool of the world's leading search engines -- instead of results from only one single search engine. And WebCrawler makes it easy to refine your search so you can find the most meaningful results right away. No wonder it's a leader in the search industry. But don't take our word for it - try a search and see for yourself. Or, take a crash course in metasearch. History WebCrawler was 'born' on January 27, 1994 and was originally a desktop application.
