I thought they were pulling my leg, but someone recently recommended Dogpile to me and, apparently it's 1996 again, because it's the best search engine I've used in years. No AI spam, no SEO spam. Just slightly bad search results.
What strange twitter. A few posts from 2026 that make no sense, and before that last post was 2015.
Looking at their explanations, they seem like a meta search provider. So if their upstream sucks, how cna they be any good?
Dogpile is a search engine from 1996 whose gimmick was that they'd aggregate all the other search engines and get more results. They were the best briefly, before Google showed up and was so much better than all the other search engines that you'd never want to mix it with something else.
I have no clue why Dogpile is good right now. Some strange accident?
I've also tried it, inspired by you, and wow wtf! This is amazingly good, on par if not better than Kagi lmao
