What is MetaCrawler?

It was originally a metasearch engine, as its name suggests.

MetaCrawler also provided users the option to search for images, video, news, business and personal telephone directories, and for a while even audio. MetaCrawler was originally developed in 1994 at the University of Washington by graduate student Erik Selberg and Professor Oren Etzioni.
