For example, we searched on mushrooms (try this yourself with other keywords as well). Dogpile also has an information index (like Yahoo) that searches multiple search engines. The result of the search is that Dogpile has looked at about 20 different search engines and you are likely to find interesting documents to suit your needs. However, you will need time to look through all the options.
