Dogpile uses six search engines. It puts the power of all the leading search engines together in one search box to deliver the best combined results. Dogpile was recently named top consumer search engine by J.D. power and Associates for 2007. Strengths: * Uses six search engines * Has a Tool and Tips *Gives related searches *keeps track of prior searches Sponsored and non-sponsored results Weaknesses: Smaller database not very many people know about the existance of Dogpile.

And between serch terms; and dash between words. Case Sensitivity: Dogpile is not case sensitive. Other search Engines used: Google, Yahoo, Live Search, Ask.com, about, MIVA, LookSmart. Language: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Halian, Norwegian, Portugyese, Spanish, Swedish.

It uses: Category Links, yellow Pagers, White Pages, Wev search Box, Serch Button, Preferences, Spelling Correction, Search Filter, Statistics Bar, About Results, Intellifind, Are you looking for?, Recent Searches.

What if I see an offensive term in the Filtered results of SearchSpy? What does the Recent Serches Feature? Can anyone else access my Recent Search information? Can I change the number keywords stored in my Recent Searches area? Can I turn off th Recent Search feature? Does Dogpile include paid listings wiht their search results?

Good job on your review. I found this assignment difficult. After reading your review I went to the site and checked it out. I agree this seems to be a good source of information, although Like my review, the data base is not as large as some other sites. I did however get results on dogpile that I didn't get using google, I am taking a computer business class this semester and the professor has refered to this site several times in class. He stated that you may get better or different results using dogpile over a more well known metacrawlers. I plan on bookmarking this site for future searches and research projects.
