That is what I put on my first try but it said it was wrong. I just tried it again but it's still saying not all answers are correct

I swapped 2 and 3 but it was still incorrect. I don't have more chances to go and and test out your new list, I am however curious what the answers were. The only part that throws me off about Metasearch Engine for #1 is that #1 specifically states from one web site and Metasearch Engine sounds like it searches all of them

Oh I understand. You search many sources using that one Metasearch Engine, okay I get it. The wording threw me off, thank you.

I only took two classes on dealing with the web and that was early on in my track. I'm a CS Major but I don't specialize in web programming myself, so my memory is a bit rusty. I'm surprised it doesn't show you the correct answer after using up all your chances. Seems like that would help a fellow learn better.
 
It does search a lot of sites but as wikipedia shows it is from one single query.
