Metas are the "umbrellas"          (meta vs searchengine)

1. avoiding the need for ONE searchengine

2. metas querying 100's of searchengines,
   forming meta-meta structures

3. optimal: client-based on java & webstart
   • able to query ANY searchengine from client-side

   • with NO chance of blocking for the searchengine

   • such client-based metasearch software has to be developed
     not available yet

4. needed: organization of distribution/s (Linux-like)

5. optimal: definition of a simple standard interface (ASSI)
