Perry, are you suggesting mixing team algorithms on meta search engines? 
I imagine that it would mean, then, that the meta engines would combine 
results from Google, Yahoo, Ask, Visvo, etc., and then in between the 
results add the ones from the teams, and then record data on which ones 
are clicked and therefore the most relevant. The only problem is that 
you only have about 10 chances per page. ;)
