SearchBoth is a website that lets you search multiple sites at once. But unlike Dogpile, SearchBoth doesn't spit out all the results in a single stream. Instead, you can compare your results side by side.
As you might guess from the search engine's name, you used to have access to just two sites: Google and Yahoo!. This month the company added support for more services, including all those listed above and MetaCrawler, LookSmart and WebCrawler to boot. There's also a new travel search feature that lets you compares results from several top travel sites and a yellowpages v. superpages online phone book faceoff.

SearchBoth seems to have a running audio commentary. A quick look doesn't reveal a way to shut it up. Can't work with that.

MSN Search? MSN Search is dead. It's now Live Search. Get with the program.
And yes, we're all quite aware that there are alternatives to Google. Better ones like Ask and Live Search.
Google search is ok. Clean page, and pretty accurate results. Though people are starting to notice less than relevant results lately. And it is getting kind of bland.
Y! Search just sucks. Too many links everywhere.
Live Search is awesome. Quik and clean. I also like some of the little search extras like searching for "weather" brings up local weather. "Houston traffic" brings up a virtual map right on the results page, with traffic info. And many other extras.
Ask Search is also pretty cool. I like the idea of universal search. Though it does get in the way if I only want web links. It's fast, efficient, clean, and pretty nice.
People should try for more alternatives.
I'll still use Dogpile though. I love it, and it gets the best of the best.

Reminds me of an old website from a few years ago called Yagoohoogle (http://yagoohoogle.com/). It searches, you guessed it, Yahoo and Google. Although it seems to be down at the mo.

Hello,
www.GahooYoogle.com was the first website to allow such functionalities, and the credit of the idea must go to them! Later they lunched another search engine named www.PolyCola.com that was an expansion to the idea of www.GahooYoogle.com.
GahooYoogle.com was chosen as hotsite by USAToday in 2005 and was talked about in BBC Radio and many more places in newspapers and the media!

SearchBoth.com places Google and Yahoo side by side on one split screen! They are the leader in side by side search. GahooYoogle was shut down for trademark infringement by Yahoo!
