Dog Pile |
|
Despite its rather bizzare name Dog Pile is a great meta-search tool. It will go out and search a great number of sites and search engines and "fetch" you only those sites which closely match your search term. The results are returned in an easy to understand list grouped by source engine. |

Although the website says 37.com it really is run through MetaSpider. This site looks very overwhelming with all the colors, tabs and columns but it provides a quick link to "37" useful, well-known search engines as well as categories on a variety of topics.
