Jux2 Meta search engine is unique in its findings because it compares the results of google, yahoo, ask jeeves and MSN,  what it believes to be the most relevant information.  By filtering through the information that shows up in the Jux2 search you can see where Jux2 is finding this information by a tag that tells which search engine reported which link.  The claim to fame sounds all and well in description, but lets look at how Jux2 performs when I want to find relevant information on the web.  Jux2 is a crawler based search engine that samples the most relevant information from multiple search engines. Next to search box there is an option for an advanced search and preferences that can further narrow your search through Jux2.  Users of Jux2 can choose to blog about Jux2.  At the bottom of the home page there is a choice to express your comments about how and how efficient Jux2 compiled your search.  The results span across the web, directories and blogs, however in my findings I did not see an area for images.  In the advanced search you can choose to narrow your search by keywords, phrases or the exact listing you requested.  There is no save search facility, however when the results are reported you can find exactly where the link came from, ie. google or MSN.  Users can filter through the multiple of listings by the number of pages at the bottom of the Jux2 search.  Jux2 does not have language translation capability, but besides that Jux2 is very easily navigated, although the screen that displays the results of the search can get some what cluttered at times. After I preformed a search with google I found that Jux2 lacks in its ability to report multimedia resources as where google filters images and youtube clips.  Jux2 works if your trying to located links and resources that are not multimedia based, but besides that negative Jux2 is easy to use and helpful in navigating the web.
