Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users to monitor as many search engines as they want, and use a complex query language with full boolean syntax, and proximity operators -- much more elaborate than languages provided by Google, Altavista, etc. It can be fed any sources, since its abstraction layer manages the search results and their meta tags in a uniform way. Future releases will include the ability to record requests and be notified in real-time through email or SMS when new results have been discovered.
This release includes several bugfixes and internal code clean-ups. Two new features have been added: users are now able to save their requests to check them later, and Magellan now shows the unread results on top. This release prepares the beta-4 release, which will incorporate major evolutions, including the ability to modify the saved requests, update them, gather only the new results, and use Magellan as a stand-alone process to check the requests in the background at a given time.
Please don't hesitate to contribute to that project ! I need your feedback !
