With all the talk about Google results not being satisfying anymore to a growing number of users, I'm surprised we haven't seen more sites pop up that would allow users to display the results of multiple search engines of their choosing either by mixing (eg all 1st results then all 2nd, etc) or by seeing them side by side... while stripping ads and cards and the like.
- auxym 7y agoWe had that back in the late 90s. I remember dogpile and Copernic. Actually, I just checked them out, and it seems both of those are still alive.
- fogetti 7y agoWhile I agree that it would be great to have such service it's just technically impossible. Google is very cautious to protect their service from automated requests (on behalf of humans or in batch or in any other form), and you will need quite some resources (a.k.a $$$) to scale at Google scale if your service would ever become popular.
