Dogpile is a metasearch engine for information on the World Wide Web that fetches results from Google, Yahoo!, and Yandex, and includes results from several other popular search engines, including those from audio and video content providers. Quote from Wikipedia.

Looking for superior search results?

I found over the time dogpile gives me the search results i want and need whereas using only one search engine, such as Google or DuckDuckGo, provides me with a lot of junk that i need to filter.

Indeed, dogpile is a fine search engine.
Except, in my experience, it doesn't work half the time...

Here's an article about metasearch engines, which is distinctly unenthusiastic about them;

I still use dogpile sometimes though.

(Just in passing; there used to be some weird and wonderful search engines when I first went online, 21 or so years ago in late 1997. I remember one called Black Widow, whose URL was something like www.penetang.com.)
