LIST OF SEARCH ENGINES

LIST OF SEARCH ENGINES

Google

http://www.google.com Google provides the option to find more than web pages. Using the top of the search box on the Google home page, you can quickly seek out images from across the web, discussions taking place on Usenet newsgroups, locating news information, or performing product searching.

Google is also known for the wide range of features it offers, such as cached links that let you “resurrect” dead pages or see older versions of recently changed ones. It offers excellent spell checking, easy access to dictionary definitions, integration of stock quotes, street maps, telephone numbers, and more. See Google’s help page for an entire rundown on some of these features.

Google Toolbar

The Google Toolbar has also won a popular following for the easy access to Google and its features directly from the Internet Explorer browser.

In addition to Google’s unpaid editorial results, the company also operates its advertising programs. The cost-per-click AdWords program places ads on Google and some of Google’s partners. Similarly, Google is also a provider of unpaid editorial results to other search engines.

Yahoo

https://www.yahoo.com
Launched in 1994, Yahoo is the web’s oldest “directory,” where human editors organize websites into categories. In addition to excellent search results, you can use tabs above the search box on the Yahoo home page to seek images, Yellow Page listings, or use Yahoo’s perfect shopping search engine. Or visit the Yahoo Search home page, where even more specialized search options are offered.

Yahoo Directory

The Yahoo Directory still survives. You’ll notice “category” links below some of the site’s lists in response to a keyword search. When offered, these will take you to a list of websites that have been reviewed and approved by a human editor. It’s also possible to do a pure search of just the human-compiled Yahoo Directory, which is how the old or “classic” Yahoo used to work.

BING

Microsoft provides a web search, news, images, and its encyclopedia, Encarta. It also offers desktop search via a toolbar.

Ask.com

https://www.ask.com
Ask Jeeves initially gained fame in 1998 and 1999 as the “natural language” search engine that let you search by asking questions and responding with what seemed to be the correct answer to everything. In reality, technology wasn’t what made Ask Jeeves perform so well. On the other hand, behind the scenes, the company had about 100 editors who monitored search logs. They then went out onto the web and located what seemed to be the best sites to match the most popular queries.

AllTheWeb.com

http://www.alltheweb.com Powered by Yahoo, you may find AllTheWeb a lighter, more customizable, and pleasant “pure search” experience than you get at Yahoo itself. The focus is on web search but news, pictures, video, MP3, and FTP searches.

AOL Search

http://aolsearch.aol.com
AOL Search provides users with editorial listings from Google’s crawler-based index. Indeed, the exact search on Google and AOL Search will come up with very similar matches.

HotBot (2018 snapshot)

http://www.hotbot.com
HotBot provides easy access to the web’s three major crawler-based search engines: Yahoo, Google, and Teoma. Unlike a metasearch engine, it cannot blend the results from all of these crawlers. Nevertheless, it’s a fast, easy way to get different web search “opinions” in one place.

Teoma (2008 Snapshot)

http://www.teoma.com
Teoma is a crawler-based search engine owned by Ask Jeeves. Specifically, it has a smaller web index than its rival crawler competitors, Google and Yahoo. However, being large doesn’t make much difference in popular queries, and Teoma’s won praise for its relevancy since it appeared in 2000.

Alexa (2018 snapshot)

www.alexa.com
Founded in April 1996, Alexa Internet grew out of a vision of Web navigation that is intelligent and constantly improving with the participation of its users. Want to help? Install the Alexa Toolbar, and tell your friends. The more people use Alexa, the more valuable it will be.
