I really really wanted to like Dogpile as an alternative to the big three search engines. However, it basically is non-functional and clunky. I use it mostly to search for specific auto and airplane parts, but the search results involve everything but parts. I usually break down and go back to Google.
Keep trying guys... I'll periodically check back and give it a try. Again, I really want you to succeed. Thanks.
Search multiple search engines at once and help animals in need! - I realize Dogpile might just be another company with a silly sales gimmick, but I've totally fallen for this one. The service is a meta-search, which means you type in your search and Dogpile uses Google, Ask.com, etc to give you results. Not that interesting, but each time you search, a small amount of money is donated to animals in need (dog search in rescue)... yeah I know I'm a sucker, but I love dogs.
I went to a site for a harmless looking game, it sent me to DOGPILE, and WAS IT EVER... got a virus that just killed my other puter... THANKS DOG S***
