| | Better Searching Through Dogpile (washingtonpost.com) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Dogpile (www.dogpile.com), owned by InfoSpace Inc., is the only meta-search service to sign business deals with all the top search sites, allowing it to combine their results and sort them with the service's own relevancy algorithms to weed out duplicates and elevate the most promising ones. |
 | | Dogpile ranks results from many search services -- including Google, Overture, Yahoo, AltaVista, Teoma, Ask Jeeves and About -- using a formula that analyzes, among other things, the popularity of each engine, the number of click-throughs a site receives on Dogpile, how many other engines a site is listed in and its various rankings. |
 | | Dogpile's limited shopping feature defaults to offering only a version of the PriceGrabber.com comparison-shopping tool, but Grandy said Dogpile eventually will expand it. |
