I believe you will be as surprised as I was to see how little overlap there often is among the "big three" search engines.


Dogpile, despite its name, is a good metasearch engine. Dogpile includes Live Search results, along with those from Google, Yahoo, and Ask Jeeves. This is, of course, very good news because Dogpile is now drawing from all the major US-based search engines with the exception of Gigablast. It also searches smaller or lesser-known search engines and directories, including the MIVA (formally FindWhat), LookSmart, Ask, About, and more. Interestingly, the European version's name is Webfetch because of "unfortunate associations" between Dogpile and manure.


Mamma, the "Mother of All Search Engines," might just be exaggerating a wee bit. Mamma offers web, news, image, and yellow and white page search options.
