What Wikipedia says

A metasearch engine (or search aggregator) is an online information retrieval tool that uses the data of one or more web search engines to produce its own results. Metasearch engines take input from a user and immediately query search engines for results. Sufficient data is gathered, ranked, and presented to the users.
