Missing Pieces at Dogpile

Dogpile has been redesigned and has added the ability to easily see which results come from Google, Yahoo!, or Ask Jeeves. Clicking the button for one or more of the search engines (in the blue bar at the top) opens up a column with the top results from that search engine and those records not available from the others search engines (at least on their first page) are highlighted. In addition, to demonstrate the lack of overlap between the first page of results at each of the three, Dogpile has introduced a graphic "missing pieces tool." This shows which results are found by three, two, or only one of the search engines. Just remember that it is only looking at the first page of results (including ads). MSN will be added to the tool once it is included in Dogpile this summer.
