"WebFerret is a DESKTOP MetaSearch Utility for Windows (currently not available for Macintosh). It lets you search the web quickly and thoroughly by instantly submitting your search query to multiple search engines, and displaying all of the results in a single concise window. You can choose the search engines to query, and the number of results to return. You can enable password-protected obscenity Filters, or create your own, and you can control whether you store your search history. If you use Internet Explorer, you can also choose to install the WebFerret Integrated Toolbar. You can enable features like duplicate removal and keyword suggestions, to help you find better results. You can also select any number of results and have the WebFerret independently validate them. The WebFerret will make sure a Web Page really exists for each result you choose to validate. Most importantly, you can specify the type of search you wish to conduct. You can search for All of the Keywords in your search query, Any of them, look for an Exact Phrase or use a Boolean Expression."

"The PRO version queries even more engines and features a ranking option. With ranking, the WebFerret independently fetches found pages, searches them for your query, and assigns them a relevancy value you can use to sort your results."
