Dogpile (meta-search engine)


This is a picture of the Dogpile.com home page. Dogpile.com is a meta-search engine. A meta-search engine searches all of the major search engines for you and gives you more broad selection to look at to find your topic of interest. Also, meta-search engines include directories in them to look up phone numbers and addresses.
