Abstract: The metasearch problem is to optimally merge the ranked lists output by an arbitrary
number of search systems into one ranked list. In this work:
(1) We show that metasearch improves upon not just the raw performance of the
input search engines, but also upon the consistency of the input search engines from
query to query. (Update)
