   Results Ranking and Presentation    
 
Ranking Algorithm

QuadSearch operates by retrieving up to four separate result lists produced by its component engines (Google, Yahoo!, Live Search and Ask) according to your preferences. It then merges these separate lists into one larger list and reorganizes the results to achieve robust ranking.

Determine how the collected results will be ranked, by employing one of the supported algorithms.
