SearchBoth
We know you might find this hard to believe, but Google is not the only search engine out there. No really. There are others. You might even have heard of a few, like Yahoo!, MSN, Ask, and even the oldie, but goody AltaVista.

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!.

Your result will pop up in the same window, or in a new window if you adjust your settings. You can customize the buttons available on the main page by selecting from dozens of additional search engines. But you cannot currently add your own sites.
