Target: meta search engine

[Jean Anne Lowis <jalowis@home.com>]

This meta search engine xquick - http://ixquick.com/  was mentioned
int the
 [LIIWEEK] May 29, 2000  email notice. I tried it out with a search
one of the students was doing today - Japanese internment.  I was
really impressed with the speed and the quality of the first few
sites; However... after 1- 5 star site, 3 -4 star sites, 2 - 3 star
sites, of the next 16-2 star sites, 3 (2 at the beginning) were
horribly descriptive porno sites. I did the same search on other
meta engines and this did not occur, and I must say that rarely
lately have I come across porno sites in meta engine searches on
legit school topics.
Question - does this occur more often with certain search engines? I
am wondering why this one picked them up and others didn't.  Maybe
it searches some sort of meta index of key words that the others
don't?

Too bad - it looked promising.
