What are the differences between Parallel Search Engines and Regular Search Engines?

Parallel Search Engines

Have you ever wanted to do some research, or find some piece of very specific information, but did not have much time to find it? Sure, everyone is faced with the problems of time, and when looking for information, time is very valuable. Parallel search engines, or services, allow the user to enter information in one box and receive results for matches of the information found from the internet for many different search engines. The parallel search service will eliminate all of the duplicate entries that result. The searches done here are more efficient in terms of the number of results returned per time, and the user has to do the least work. Because each search engine will classify and categorize all of the sites on the internet in a different way, parallel search services reduce the amount of guessing as to what category a site may fall under. Parallel search engines also return category matches for Yahoo and other regular search engines. Some of the popular search engines are Dogpile, Cyber411,

Regular Search Engines

A regular search engine is only a tool that looks for matching words or phrases on pages of the internet. Regular search engines are very much like electronic card catalogues, because any word or phrase that matches is displayed as a result. There are many different regular search engines, which is why parallel search services are extremely useful. Many, but not all of the search engines on the web can be found at the Netscape Net Search page.
