dogpilecom

Dogpile.com was a web search engine that aggregated results from other search engines. It launched in 1999, a period when many such metasearch engines were popular. Dogpile's approach was to query multiple search engines simultaneously and then compile and rank their results. This was intended to provide users with a more comprehensive set of search results than a single engine might offer.

The site was operated by Infospace, Inc. Over time, Dogpile's user interface and features evolved, often incorporating elements of social media and other web services. It also offered news, weather, and shopping aggregation alongside its core search functionality. Like many search engines of its era, Dogpile faced challenges in competing with the dominant players in the search market.

In later years, Dogpile's prominence diminished as users gravitated towards more streamlined and integrated search experiences. The brand continued to exist, often as part of a larger portfolio of web properties. While it was no longer a leading search engine, it represented a significant phase in the development of how people found information online, highlighting the early experimentation with metasearch technology.
