dogpile.com Internet Site

Newest Review: ... Google, Yahoo, Ask.com and MSN search wrapped into one neat package. Upon first accessing the site, the user is met with a blue outdoorsy type background against a search bar. It is not the quickest site to load, with independent testing suggesting a 2.92 second load time using a broadband connection, but after loading is pleasing to the eye. The search area rests in the centre of the page and users may enter a keyword and click "Go Fetch" to search. An average search takes less time to load than the homepage, measuring a total of 2.1 seconds, as there are fewer graphical implements. Aside from keyword text searching, users may ... more

Dogpile.com is a meta-search engine. First launched in 1996, it has since grown to become an award winning search solution having consecutively won the J.D. Power and Associates award for best Residential Online Search Engine in 2006 and 2007. Dogpile is not the most obvious choice in search engine selections, however it does offer the public an excellent service. It is a meta-search engine which is able to access other popular databases and compile their results into a Dogpile branded search result. Thus, it can be considered as Google, Yahoo, Ask.com and MSN search wrapped into one neat package. Upon first accessing the site, the user is met with a blue ...  Read the complete review

Dogpile is a pretty good search engine when it comes to media. Dogpile is a hugely used search engine (not as used as google) I sometimes use dogpile to search for pictures, news, and other websites in general. Dogpile has a audio search were you can search for music for e.g meditation music and you can download it free and legal. Dogpile has a big variety of pictures all you have to do is click the image tab at the top and type in what images you would like to see E.g. Dog swimming. And you will get lots of pictures of Dogs swimming. In my opinion dogpile is not the best search engine nor the worst, if you are searching for media files then this ...  Read the complete review

During the 90s, there was a surge of internet search engines available on the net, these days Google have pretty much cornered the English-speaking market leaving a few trailing behind them and many websites completely redundant. Dogpile has always been one of the search engines that appealed to me, ever since I saw it advertised in a Top 100 list of a PC magazine many years ago. It's canine-friendly name has always intrigued me. Dogpile is a meta search engine, that's to say that it collects results from other search engines rather than scouring the world wide web. The results should in theory be more accurate but offer less results, this is true perhaps for ...  Read the complete review

Dogpile.com was developed in 1996, another search engine. It is a metasearch engine which basically is a search engine that looks through all the other search engines, not the actual internet. It enable the user to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously. However, in my eyes, this is bad. You don't get many hits back at all because it isn't searching the whole of the world wide web, just databases from other search engines. Try this: If you type in a word or phrase in google, see how many hits you get. Now type in the expact same word or phrase in dogpile, you will get less hits. Dogpile is It a registered ...  Read the complete review

Dogpile.com! Another one of those search engines! I am one of the lovers of google and use it most of the time. Before Google was major I used to use a number of search engines such as Dogpile and altavista. Dogpile.com's main page has a search box. You can search for a number of things including the web, images, audio, video, news, and yellow pages. Once you type in what you want to search for you need to press "go fetch" in other words "search", quite a fitting name really considering the website's name. Dogpile has became quite advanced compared to how it was in the past and is following in ...  Read the complete review
