Dogpile first appeared on the electronic scene in 1996, led by its fun-loving mascot Arfie, an indiscriminate breed of dog that is responsible for fetching users' search results.
Back in the Installer window in your web browser, the Arfie icon will ask for permission to complete the installation.
Widgets, such as Picture Frame, Analog Clock, and of course the one you just installed, the "Arfie" DogPile widget.
Arfie will appear on your desktop in a little doghouse, an animated cartoon animal that plays merrily with a little ball.
However, there's also a more interesting Web 2.0-ish aspect to it - a small pull-out window on the bottom of the widget turns Arfie into an "internet watchdog," providing a live feed of other DogPile searches throughout the Internet.
