Different communities use "metasearch" and "federated search" to mean
exactly exchanged meanings. So I don't know what YOU mean by
"'metasearch' instead of real 'federated search'", Jakob, heh.
I prefer the terms:
* Broadcast search
* Aggregated index
But some people use "metasearch" to mean the former and some the latter;
some people use "federated search" to mean the former, and some the
latter. Both uses are quite popular. So I stick to terms above which I
think are harder to confuse.

I am liking LibraryFind at the moment, but am not sure if anyone is using
it. Has anyone else got experience with this or any other federated search
programs?
How about YaCy (see http://yacy.net/oai.html). Or did you mean
"metasearch" instead of real "federated search"?
