A search engine is a web-based program that allows users to find the information they need on the Internet. There are many search engines that differ in the algorithm that is responsible for sorting the results obtained and affects the search engine's display of suitable pages.
The undisputed leader in terms of queries in the world is the Google search engine. The search engine processes more than a billion user queries every day. The company has the largest share (about 62%) of the entire search engine market and offers users a variety of online services and tools to help them deliver the most relevant results. Googlebot crawls about 25 billion web pages per month, which is also the highest for web searches. According to some sources, the search engine is able to work with information posted on the Internet in 195 languages and equally effectively search for it.
Yandex
Yandex ranks 4th in the world in terms of the number of requests processed per day.
The first most popular search engine in Russia. Originally built on the Google engine, today Yandex offers its own search algorithm, aimed at Russian-speaking users in Russia and the CIS countries. The search engine successfully copes with its task and offers both visitors and webmasters many services that can not only improve the quality of the results, but also make surfing the Internet the most convenient.
Other search engines
There are many popular search engines: Yahoo, AOL, Ask, Mail.ru, Rambler. Some search engines use mechanisms borrowed from other systems (for example, QIP.ru uses the Yandex engine).
Among other search engines, the equally popular Baidu can be noted, the main audience of which is located in China. The search engine ranks 3rd in the world in terms of the number of processed requests. The site has its own services, for example, an encyclopedia, an antivirus program, a translator, etc. Microsoft's Bing project is also gaining popularity, which also has its own market share and ranks 2nd in the world after Google in terms of traffic. The search engine has not yet been officially launched in Russia, but it is capable of processing Russian-language results. Bing Search is used by default in Internet Explorer and on phones and tablets running Windows Phone and Windows 8.
There are also highly specialized search engines. For example, you can highlight image search engines (for example, TinEye), grabbers (for example, "Guénon", which shows the content of other sites on its pages). There are also search resources with a registration system (DuckDuckGo).
