www.Mamma.com
Mamma offers simultaneous coverage of the major search engines in one simple query. Mamma
analyzes your queries and properly formats the words and syntax for each source it probes.
So you no longer have to remember the syntax for each search engine. Mamma will then
organize the results into a uniform format, and presents them by relevance and source.
This is why we call the program "Mamma" she's the Mother of all search engines.
Mamma will also allow users to use any type of search syntax so you don't need to learn a
special syntax. Moreover, Mamma can include special syntax by itself for queries that are
not correct.

HOW IT WORKS
Cyber411 is a parallel meta-search engine. You can now search up to 16 of the most popular
search engines at the same time by entering a query string just once. The query is
reformulated to fit the syntax of each search engine and the results are gathered,
duplicate URLs are removed and the results displayed as they are received from the
engines.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Cyber411 now supports all languages within its normal search query.
SEARCH SYNTAX
Cyber411 now supports full Boolean search queries. You may now use the power of Boolean
logic (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) to create more powerful queries to return more specific,
targeted results.
