Web Search Engines
It is a software system that is designed to search
for information on the World Wide Web (WWW). The
search results are generally presented in a line of
results referred to as Search Engine Results Page
(SERPs).
The information may be a mix of webpages,
images, and other types of files.
PLATFORMS

These are outsourced enterprise communications
solutions that can be leased from a single vendor or

List of Top 10 Most Popular Search Engines In the World
(Updated 2018)
1. Google
No need for further introductions. The search engine giant holds the first
place in search with a stunning difference of 66% from second in place Bing.
A Google is also dominating the mobile/tablet search engine market share with
93%!
1
2. Bing
Bing is Microsoft’s attempt to challenge
Google in the area of search, but despite
their efforts they still did not manage to
convince users that their search engine can
produce better results than Google.
3. Yahoo
Since October 2011 Yahoo search is powered
by Bing. Yahoo is still the most popular email
provider and according to reports holds the
fourth place in search.
4. Ask.com
Formerly known as Ask Jeeves, Ask.com receives
approximately 0.05% of the search share. ASK is
based on a question/answer format where most
questions are answered by other users or are in the
form of polls.
It also has the general search functionality but the
results returned lack quality compared to Google or
even Bing and Yahoo.
5. AOL.com
According to netmarketshare the old time
famous AOL is still in the top 10 search engines
with a market share that is close to 0.04%. The
AOL network includes many popular web sites
like engadget.com, techchrunch.com and
the huffingtonpost.com.
6. Baidu
Baidu was founded in 2000 and it is the
most popular search engine in China. It’s
market share is increasing steadily and
according to Wikipedia, Baidu is serving
billion of search queries per month. It is
currently ranked at position 4, in the Alexa
Rankings.
7. Wolframalpha
Wolframalpha is different that all the other search
engines. They market it as a Computational
Knowledge Engine which can give you facts and
data for a number of topics. It can do all sorts of
calculations, for example if you enter “mortgage
2000” as input it will calculate your loan amount,
interest paid etc. based on a number of
assumptions.
8. DuckDuckGo
Has a number of advantages over the other
search engines. It has a clean interface, it does
not track users, it is not fully loaded with ads and
has a number of very nice features (only one
page of results, you can search directly other
web sites etc).
I am sure that some of the features of
duckduckgo will be used by other search
engines and with some proper funding
duckduckgo can get a decent search engine
market share.
Update: According to duckduckgo traffic stats,
as of October 2018, duckduckgo is serving more
than 30 million searches per day.
9. Internet Archive
archive.org is the
internet archive search
engine. You can use it to
find out how a web site
looked since 1996. It is
very useful tool if you
want to trace the history
of a domain and
examine how it has
changed over the years.
10. Yandex.ru
According to Alexa, Yandex.ru is
among the 30 most popular
websites on the Internet with a
ranking position of 4 in Russian.
Yandex present themselves as a

in Russia with about 65% market
