Dogpile.co.uk is the UK version of a
metasearch engine that fetches results from Google, Yahoo!, Live Search,
Ask.com, About.com, MIVA, LookSmart and several other popular search
engines, including those from audio and video content providers. It is a

The
Dogpile search engine earned the 2006 and 2007 J.D. Power
and Associates award for best Residential Online Search Engine Service.
The site was developed in 1996 by Aaron Flin and later sold to Go2net
(which was in turn acquired by Infospace).
Dogpile is a metasearch site — it searches multiple engines,
filters for duplicates and then presents the results to the user.
Dogpile.uk uses multiple popular search engines, as well as
sponsored links.
Paid listings criticism
Dogpile is singled out in a number of publications for mixing a high
percentage of paid listings in with the search results returned by the
various search engines.
A "sponsored by" note under a link notifies users that that particular
search result has been paid for. |
Search engine experts believes
that aggregator sites, such as Dogpile.co.uk, which check several
engines at the same time, could weaken Google's dominance.
