=head1 NAME
WWW::Search::Metapedia - class for searching online Encyclopedias 
=head1 SYNOPSIS
    require WWW::Search;
    $search = new WWW::Search('Metapedia');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
F<http://www.savvysearch.com>.
Silly class I made to sponge off a Encyclopedia meta search engine. 
Searches multi online Encyclopedias.
Covers:
Encylopedia Britannica - paid subscription service
Encarta  
Knowledge Adventure 
Infoplease
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should
be done through WWW::Search objects.
=head1 SEE ALSO
To make new back-ends, see L<WWW::Search>.
=head1 HOW DOES IT WORK?
C<native_setup_search> is called before we do anything.
It initializes our private variables (which all begin with underscores)
and sets up a URL to the first results page in C<{_next_url}>.
C<native_retrieve_some> is called (from C<WWW::Search::retrieve_some>)
whenever more hits are needed.  It calls the LWP library
to fetch the page specified by C<{_next_url}>.
It parses this page, appending any search hits it finds to 
C<{cache}>.  If it finds a ``next'' button in the text,
it sets C<{_next_url}> to point to the page for the next
set of results, otherwise it sets it to undef to indicate we're done.
