Abstract :
This paper presents a webometric study on six search engines. The search engines namely, Bing , Google and Lycos and metasearch engines namely Ixquick, Dogpile and Webcrawler are taken together to find out the extent of overlapping, precision and relative recall among them in the field of Medical Tourism in Kerala in which web resources are the only reliable information sources due to the multidisciplinary nature of Tourism. From this study it is revealed that Bing stands high in overlapping, precision and relative recall and metasearch engines show precision in similar range and low level relative recall in comparison with search engines.
