What is Meta-Search?

Metasearch searches multiple engines - this means that instead of getting the best results one search engine has to offer, you'll be getting the best combined results from a variety of engines, and not just any engines, but industry leading engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN Live, Ask.com and more!

How can I refine my search?

Nation provides you with a list of alternative search terms under the heading "Are you looking for?" to narrow your search. You simply click on one of the suggested links in the "Are you looking for?" section on the right-hand side of your screen. You are taken to a new set of results based on this refined search.
