A Metasearch Engine with Automatic Resource Binding Ability

Metasearch has been proved to be a quite effective method to integrate information spaces provided by underlying search engines. But how to admit new resources dynamically was almost neglected. Current solutions include software recoding or resource rebinding by metasearch engine developers. Besides extra cost in time and money, both tactics might be futile for resources in a controlled network (e.g. a campus network using virtual IP address) or fail to keep pace with the emerging of new resources.
