| Abstract | Abstract. Metasearch engines are increasingly becoming a very useful tool for Web information retrieval. Their success depends mainly on their rank aggregation (fusion) method, their interface and their total “sustainability”, meaning that the engine is updated regularly and will still be around after some time. In this paper we describe QuadSearch, an experimental metasearch engine that provides simultaneous access in four major conventional, crawler-based search engines. The heart of the new metasearch engine is based on two novel rank-based aggregation algorithms. Users can choose which rank aggregation algorithm to use and thus to adjust the results at their own needs. They can also alter the form of the result list in a more convenient and statistically enhanced way. The QuadSearch engine aims to combine speed, reliable rank aggregation method, “spam ” free results, and detailed and enriched information. A publicly accessible interface for the new metasearch engine can be found at |
