What would be the Internet without search engines? They let you find what you need, often before you even know that you need it! The search engine in your web browser or on your mobile device are the most common examples of this, but there are plenty of other search engines out there to help you with your day-to-day browsing and searching needs. Here are five search engines that will help you rule the world wide web!
1) Google Is the King
Google is still king, with a search market share of 65.6 percent, but don’t forget about Bing, Yahoo!, and DuckDuckGo. Each search engine has unique features and tools to help you index your website. Google Webmaster Tools gives you information on how to improve your site’s SEO while Bing Webmaster Tools helps you clean up duplicates across multiple sites.
2) Try also Bing
Bing is often overlooked as a competitor to Google, but it’s still used by millions of people every day. While Bing has fewer results than Google, its search algorithm places a greater emphasis on keywords in page titles and content. It also provides more information about SERP features (so you can see images, news stories and more). Another great thing about Bing is that it allows you to index your website for free through its Webmaster Tools.
3) Baidu
Baidu (which means hundreds of times in Chinese) has been referred to as China’s Google search engine. Baidu currently holds 67% of all search traffic in China, and 88% of searches conducted on mobiles are through Baidu. There are two main reasons for Baidu’s success: superior user experience and its innovative investments in online-to-offline services.
4) Yahoo Will Never Disappear
Yahoo, a powerful search engine with roots dating back to 1994, will never disappear. Despite turmoil in recent years—including an aborted sale to Microsoft in 2008 and layoffs in 2016—Yahoo remains one of the most popular search engines around. It’s also one of the first web portals people check whenever they want to find something online. While Yahoo has struggled over time, its relevance as a search engine is undeniable and it will continue to be a leading Internet player for many years to come.
5) Yandex
Yandex is a powerful search engine based in Russia, and its international presence is rapidly growing. It’s one of several engines that power up Google search results in other countries, and it offers a number of great tools for Webmasters. One of its best features is Yandex Disk—the service gives Webmasters 2GB of free online storage space where they can store backups and files related to their website.
