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. Dogpile 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 Dogpile homepage was remodeled on June 1, 2007. However the site kept their mascot Dog "Arfie".

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 specific search result has been paid for.
