What Makes xquick Special
Xquick is the world's most powerful metasearch engine.
Xquick search results are more comprehensive and more accurate than other search engines. Xquick's unique capabilities include a Universal Power Search, a global search and power refinement. Xquick offers you Privacy! More comprehensive search results | Xquick is a metasearch engine: when you search Ixquick, you are searching many popular search engines - anonymously - at the same time. Combined, these engines cover more of the Internet than any one search engine covers. |
More accurate results An Xquick result is awarded one star ( ) for every search engine that chooses it as one of the ten best results for your search. So a five star () result means that five search engines agreed on the result.
| This is significant because search engines choose results in different ways, and each approach works well in some cases and poorly in others. A result with many stars was chosen for many different reasons, and is a consensus choice of many search engines.
| | Also, while irrelevant Web pages can be "optimized" to fool a single search engine's algorithm, it is much harder for a page to fool all the search engines. |
Universal power search Professional researchers rely on power search methods such as Boolean logic, phrases, wildcards, and field searches.
| But different search engines support different power search methods, and require the user to access them in different ways. Keeping track of these differences can be time-consuming and burdensome.
| Xquick solves this problem by understanding which power search methods each search engine supports, and how to access them.
| At Xquick, you can enter virtually any power search, using one simple syntax. Ixquick supports a wider range of power search methods than any one search engine has.
| Xquick then sends your query to only the search engines that can handle that specific search, translating it into the syntax that each search engine needs.
| | For easy power searching, experience Xquicks Power Search homepage or Ixquicks Expert Search homepage by clicking on the Power Search link on the homepage. |
