Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users to monitor as many search engines as they want.

Magellan Metasearch provides a complex query language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to search through pages' metadata), and proximity operators.

This language enables users to perform far more complex queries than what common search engines currently support. It can be fed any custom sources, since its abstraction layer manages the search results and their meta tags in a uniform way.

In conjunction with the local process scheduler (such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and replay them later automatically; new results are sent through email and RSS in realtime. Magellan also provides full anonymity through smart multi-proxy support.

What's New in This Release:
This release enhances the automated parsing mechanism ; it also fixes a problem with small result sets that occasionally couldn't be extracted.
Moreover, new virtual sources are automatically tested on creation / update to check their validity.
