Is dogpile really that great?

A few years ago my friend showed me that dogpile searches all 3 major search engines at once. Kind of cool, huh? How well does it actually work?

 

Years ago before google became everyones search engine of choice i always used to use dogpile for my searching because it fetched a selection of results from all the major engines which was better than going to them all individualy.

 

Yeah I forgot about dogpile, I used to use them a couple of years ago as well, but I guess they haven't been able to compete with Google.

 

havent tried them in a while, will give it a good run

 

Isn't dogpile just a meta search engine across other search engines? They just provide results from others last time I checked. Im not sure if they even have their own results.

Does anyone know if that has changed?

 

AFAIK that is how it works, it is a search results scraper, and does it eliminate duplicates?

 

Does any site can get named as Search Engine if they don't have own database and crawler? Never. I like only Google and that's all.

 

Dogpile is pretty good and it is a meta search engine. I have not used it in awhile. However, it is a great resource.

 

Dogpile sent me 1 visitor last month and no visitors this month yet. While I'll take any traffic I can get, Dogpile is living up to its name.

 

Haha, I agree. I have never had any traffic from Dogpile if that says anything.

 

Dogpile may have been useful waaaaaaay back in the day, but now it's pretty useless IMO

 

I remember wayyyy back when my dad used to use dogpile. He thought it was awesome.

I don't remember what I used before google.

 

does dogpile has their own spider?

 

I've never really cared for dogpile.

 

I have used dogpile a few times but its not the best.
