Multi Search Engine Search

1. Introduction and Sample

Most people looking for information on the web will perform a search using a search engine or directory. There are lots of different search engines (and several directories) out there that people can search. Their favourite one will not necessarily find them the best pages on what they are looking for.

Many of these search engines and directories offer a way that you can set up a search box on your own site that your visitors can use to start searching.

How about if instead of offering our visitors the opportunity to search via one search engine we give them a choice of several different search engines/directories that they can choose to search from. Well with this script you can. The selection list contains more than 35 different search engines and directories including all of those in the top 5, many of the top 50, and even a few more obscure ones for them to choose from. What's more the list randomly selects which one will be displayed as the selected/default entry so that they will get the opportunity to see some of the other search engines in the list.

To incorporate this script into your page all that you need to do is to obtain the head script and install it into your web page. Once you have done that you just do the same with the body script.
