I would like two search engines displaying results side by side whenever I do a search. There’s so much empty space on a wide screen display anyway.
Maybe I should check if there’s an addon for this…
This is an excellent idea. Did you happen to find any?
Not really no!
There was a “Multi Web Search” by Oleksandr for Firefox but it was last updated five years ago. It also intermingles the results whereas I would’ve liked to see them side by side (to compare how different search engines rank the sites)
The SearX feature the other guy mentioned might be the best bet!
Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but a searx instance can return commingled results from multiple engines
Thanks - I’ll have to look into this!
I guess you’re too young to remember the good old days of dogpile searching on four engines within one page.
Remember ask Jeeves?
I’d have Ask Jeeves, Hotbot, and Yahoo opened when I was trawling the Internet for porn while my parents were out for 30m when I was 14 years old. There were always substantially different results, though somehow they always ended up the same: with me infecting my parents’ computer with some shit. Let’s say I did a lot of learning from my mistakes.
Remember the porn networks that tried to get you to download their software to connect, and then it ended up being a dialer to a 900 number?
That is funny, and sounds like it’d be pretty expensive. I actually didn’t encounter this fortunately, because I was already costing my parents a fortune because I just couldn’t stay under 300 texts a month.
Hah! It would seem so!
