Meta search engine found!

A200560 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi to everybody,

for some weeks I have looked for a good meta search engine (html scraping, ranking and sorting) written in Perl. An old employee of Altavista provided me a very well written mod_perl module of the end of 2002, but I'm not able to test it in order to evaluate performances and quality. The owner said me that the source is open so I can redistribute it.

Anybody want to test this module and evaluate it? Let me know and I will post the link on this forum.

Regards.

If it's open source and you really want feedback, the best way to get it is to post the damn thing, not post a message promising to post it only after someone asks.	[reply]

Here the link: http://www.viewz.org/opensoft/ ---------------------------------------------------- Viewz Web Search A meta search engine that sends queries to multiple search engines simultaneously, combines the results, and rank them based on some criteria. The results are highly relevant. It also does a comparision among the search engines participating in the search. You need to have LWP::Parallel installed on your box. ---------------------------------------------------- Let me know. Thanks!	[reply]
