  http://msxml.webcrawler.com/info.wbcrwl/search/web/super%2Bhighway%2Bfrom%2Bmexico%2Bto%2Bcanada/1/-/1/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/417/top

  webcrawler.com is a meta search engine. It uses the results from
  google, yahoo, msn, ask and maybe a few others and ranks according to where you are
  ranked on all of those plus some other factors.

  In this case, a Google response to the search term “super highway from mexico to canada”.

  You can see it here.

  Thanks you two. I clicked on it myself and checked it out. It sounds like a search engine I’d like to use myself because you can cover so many bases at once when you’re doing research.

  Is that like Dogpile where they combine other search engines into one?
