Dogpile is 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 registered trademark of InfoSpace, Inc.
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).
Metasearch
Dogpile is a metasearch site — it searches multiple engines, filters for duplicates and then presents the results to the user. Dogpile 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.
