Dogpile: Results
built 627 days ago
In terms of actually being able to track something down, Dogpile is a far more friendlier tool to the searcher than other search engines. Searchers ask questions, search engines provide answers. Dogpile helps searchers in two ways. By providing more relevance and by exposing searchers to a broader base of relevant results. As a searcher, consider the advantages of using Dogpile:

Dogpile's mascot is a dog, specifically a Dalmatian, named "Arfie", that "fetches" search results in news, web, images, and music. Like the Google logo, Arfie will occasionally change his appearance for certain holidays and other events.

Dogpile, a very popular metasearch engine from Infospace, has a set of new tricks. Most importantly, it uses Vivisimo's clustering technology to group results into folders. You can view results by relevance (collated and deduped) or by search engine. Dogpile has been stuck for years listing results by search engine. Relevance listing is a very welcome change. Sponsored results are labelled as "sponsored by". Unfortunately, results by relevance do not show the names of the source engines.

Dogpile rolled out new "IntelliFind" technology today that focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of user intent at query time and limiting searches to sources that will likely provide the best results for each query. The company ... announced partnerships with vertical content providers Topix.net for news, Singingfish for streaming media, as well as deals to include Yahoo!Images and Yahoo! News links in search results.

Further illustrating the value of metasearch, in May of this year Dogpile.com revealed results from a study that found a major disparity between the results returned by the top search engines. The study, titled, Different Engines, Different Results, was conducted by researchers from The Pennsylvania State University and Queensland University of Technology in April 2007 and found that first page results on Google, Yahoo!, Windows Live (formerly MSN Search) and Ask (formerly Ask Jeeves) overlap less than one percent. With search engines producing such differing results, the study reinforced the value of Dogpile.com, which returns the top results from each of these leading search engines to provide users with the most relevant and useful information.
