The few times I have searched on other SEs I have been disappointed. Because Dogpile pulls from so many places you get a wide variety of information as well as other suggested searches. I am amazed when Internet users haven't heard of it. Discovered Dogpile several years ago and have used it ever since. The few times I have searched on other SEs I have been disappointed.

I've forgotten about it, though. Thanks for the reminder! Can't wait to go back and start checking it out. I used to use Dogpile… I’ve forgotten about it, though. Thanks for the reminder!

Take a look... the most viewed part of the page is the top left hand corner, Ask manages to fill that space with a useless sidebar column and advertisments.

I used to use MSN all the time, but it got to be very annoying that so many products would come up when I was seeking information. I'm not in love with Google, but I didn't know there were so many other choices. That GoodSearch sounds great! I'm going to go play around with these now. :-) This is great info!

I find that it brings up some interesting searches plus as you type in the keywords, it pops up suggestions of other searches using those keywords. I can't remember if AltaVista is now part of the bigger engines like Yahoo or MSN ... Any ideas? What about AltaVista?

I can’t remember if AltaVista is now part of the bigger engines like Yahoo or MSN … Any ideas?

I discovered this search engine about ten years ago, it came in handy when researching information for my college papers. I have to admit, I've kind of neglected this SE and others. Searching for something on Google is a natural reflex. Dogpile is a great search tool.
