How to Submit a Site to Meta Crawler
For a site to appear in MetaCrawler search results, the site must first be submitted to one or more of the search engines that MetaCrawler looks to for its search results. Manually submitting a site to Google and Yahoo is usually enough to land a spot in MetaCrawler's search results. Another way to submit a site to MetaCrawler is to use a free URL submission service to submit the URL to multiple search engines at once.

Submit a URL to Google manually. Visit Google's "Add URL" page and enter the site's full URL and any additional comments. Click the "Add URL" button to have the site indexed by the Googlebot crawler. Submitted URLs are processed and added to the Google search results after the Googlebot has finished crawling through the URL. This can take anywhere from a couple days to a few months to complete.

Submit a URL to Yahoo. Visit Yahoo's "Submit Your Site" page and select either the link to submit a website or the link to submit a site feed. Enter the full URL address and click the "Submit URL" button to add the URL to Yahoo's list of sites to be indexed.
