Dogpile (version 2.2.0), from InfoSpace, is the best of the metasearch bars. You can instantly query seven popular search engines, yellow and white pages, public records, and horoscopes, highlight keywords, and block pop-ups. But the live news ticker is what really sets Dogpile apart. It displays hyperlinked headlines from ABC News, Fox News, or any RSS feed you choose. When you install Dogpile, it asks for your ZIP code and date of birth, so it can supply certain customized content, but you can refuse. Regardless, InfoSpace doesn't share your information with third parties.
