Top 12 Best Search Engines in The World

BY  DAVID DWYER ON  11/11/2016    


Search Engines are now part of our daily life, whether it be carrying out research for Xmas presents or where is the nearest coffee shop open before 7am or looking for best Steak House in town. People are now becoming more and more dependent on search engines to get the answer for their everyday queries.

At Inspire we monitor our search traffic using a variety of analytics. Most of our queries returned are related to what we do and some are simply bizarre. Those we’re interested in relate to the services of what we do e.g improving search ranking, web design, web development, and many more. 

Much as we utilise “all routes to market” we are still heavily dependent on the search engines for our bread & butter traffic.

Recently we did a piece of work for a client looking to reach into the Russian market, they’d spoken to other firms who all shared about what they’d do on Google and how such experts they are. This completely missed the point as Google are not the dominant search engine in Russia, Yandex is!!!

This brought it home to me that perhaps people have assumed that because Google is a dominant Global player that they are also the dominant player in every market. 

For that reason we thought it would be worthwhile having a run down on the rest of the World, so let’s look at top 12 search engines in the world.

List of Top 12 Best Search Engines in The World

1. Google search engine optimisation - Perth - Scotland
Google Search Engine is the best search engine in the world and it is also one of most popular products from Google. Almost 70 percent of the Search Engine market has been acquired by Google. The tech giant is always evolving and looking to improve the search engine algorithm to provide best results to the end-user. Although Google appears to be the biggest search engine, as of 2015 YouTube is now more popular than Google (on desktop computers).
GIVE IT A GO:  Google Search App

2. Bing  SEO | Perth | Web Design | Bing | PPC
Bing is Microsoft’s answer to Google and it was launched in 2009. Bing is the default search engine in Microsoft’s web browser. At Bing, they are always striving to make it a better search engine but it’s got a long way to go to give Google competition. Microsoft’s search engine provides different services including image, web and video search along with maps. Bing introduced Places (Google’s equivalent is Google My Business), this is a great platform for business to submit their details to optimise their search results.
GIVE IT A GO:  Bing Search App

3. Yahoo yahoo | SEO | Perth | Scotland
Yahoo & Bing compete more with each other than with Google. A recent report on netmarketshare.com tells us that Yahoo have a market share of 7.68 percent. Although a leader as a free email provider, this is declining significantly though with their recent acknowledgement that User Details & Passwords where hacked last year.
GIVE IT A GO:  Yahoo Search App

4.  Baidu  Baidu - SEO - Perth - PPC
Baidu is the most used search engine in China and was founded in Jan, 2000 by Chinese Entrepreneur, Eric Xu. This web search is made to deliver results for website, audio files and images. It provides some other services including maps, news, cloud storage and much more.

5. AOL  
Aol.com is also among the top search engines. These are the guys that used to send out CD’s which you’d load onto your PC to install their browser and modem software. Once the pre-eminent player they now have a market share of 0.59 percent. Verizon Communication bought AOL for $4.4 billion. It was started back in 1983 as Control Video Corporation. It was named America Online in 1991 and in 2009 as AOL Inc. AOL is a global mass media company which is based in New York. The company also provides advertising services as AOL Advertising, AOL mail and AOL Platform.

6. Ask.com ask | inspire | web design | perth
Founded in 1995, Ask.com, previously known as Ask Jeeves. Their key concept was to have search results based on a simple question + answer web format. It is a question & answer community where you can get the answers for your question and it integrates a large amount of archive data to answer your question. Because of this dependency on archived and active user contributions the results will not be as current as those you get in Google, Bing and Yahoo. They’ve tried to counter where their resources don’t have the answer they take help from a third-party search engine. Interestingly they don’t name who this is.

 

7. Excite 

Excite is not widely known but is one that still gets into the top 10. Excite is an online service portal that provides internet services like email, search engine, news, instant messaging and weather updates. This also provides us with the latest trends, topics and search for phrases such as: What can President Trump actually do? 

duck duck go - Inspire IT Services | Perth

8. DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine known for protecting the privacy of the users. Unlike Ask.com they are quite open about who they use to generate search results; they’ve partnered with Yahoo, Bing and Yummly. It was founded back in 2008 by Gabriel Weinberg in California and its revenue come from Yahoo-Bing search alliance network and Affiliates.

wolfram alpha | Web Design | SEO | Perth9. Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge search engine which does not give list of documents or web pages as search results. Results are based on facts & data about that query. Their mission statement is to make all systematic knowledge computable and broadly accessible. Launched in 2009, they now have a Pro solution designed with pricing for Students and Educators. Much as it’s targeted, it’s an awesome tool for the right market.
yandex - perth - seo - web design
10. Yandex 
Launched in 1997, Yandex is most used search engine in Russia. Yandex also has a great presence in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Turkey. It provides services like Yandex Maps, Yandex Music, online translator, Yandex Money and many other services. 

lycos | perth | SEO | Web design
11. Lycos
Lycos has a good reputation in search engine industry. Its key areas served are email, web hosting, social networking, and entertainment websites.

12. Chacha.com - December 2016 UPDATE: ChaCha ceased trading due to declining advertising revenues
Chacha.com is a human-guided search engine and was founded in 2006. You can ask anything in its search box and you will be answered in real-time. It also provides mobile search and marketing services. You can also install its mobile apps on iPhone, iPad and Android.

 

Conclusion
Now that you know a bit more about the best and most popular web search engines in the world, is it time for you time to capitalise on these online opportunities?  Among them Google, Bing and Yahoo are dominating the search engine market (on an aggregated search traffic basis) and are used daily by most people in the world. 

The key question though which is the right fit for your business given the location, device being used and type of target audience you want to reach?
During the collation of this list, we’ve taken data from Wikipedia, Netmarketshare.com and Alexa.com.

Super Car of the Famous People

Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price:  $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is  truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z's 99 problems.   Jay Leno's McLaren F1 Price:  $22 million Of all Leno's vehicles, the  McLaren F1  is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made. Tom Brady's Bugatti Veyron Price:  $3 million Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a  garage full of impressive cars  that he might have a little more time to drive now that he's retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive is his Bugatti V

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi

BrainstBorming Does Not Work

By
BrainSt orming Does Not Work Why people who brainstorm are wasting their time. Brainstorming was invented by advertising executive Alex Osborn in 1939 and first published in 1942 in his book  How to Think Up . This is a typical description, from James Manktelow, founder and CEO of MindTools, a company that promotes brainstorming as a way to “develop creative solutions to business problems”: Brainstorming is often used in a business setting to encourage teams to come up with original ideas. It’s a freewheeling meeting format, in which the leader sets out the problem that needs to be solved. Participants then suggest ideas for solving the problem, and build on ideas suggested by others. A firm rule is that ideas must not be criticized — they can be completely wacky and way out. This frees people up to explore ideas creatively and break out of established thinking patterns. As well as generating some great solutions to specific problems, brainstorming can be a lot of fun. Osborn claimed

What is the most Important in Life? - Nurturing Meaning: Unveiling the Essence of Human Experience

By

  What is most Important in Life? This question is one that's close to the heart, something that so many of us ponder over. The pursuit of what truly matters in life is a journey as unique as each individual. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, let's delve into some insights that have resonated with countless souls, as I've discovered through my web explorations. Picture this: health, a cornerstone of existence. It's not just about the physical; it encompasses mental and emotional well-being too. Think of your body as a canvas, and the colors you fill it with—balanced meals, regular movement, restful sleep—create a masterpiece of vitality. Remember, health isn't just a solo act; it's the backdrop against which relationships, work, and passions unfold. Ah, relationships—the tapestry of human connection. Family, friends, partners—these are the threads that weave our story. They offer a sanctuary of love, support, and a deep sense of belonging. They chal

How to Become a Chicken Entrepreneur

By
"Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets." -Victor Kiam How to Become a Chicken Entrepreneur By Michael Masterson I firmly believe that one of the best (or possibly the best) ways of growing wealthy is to start your own business. And while I'm all for taking on a limited amount of risk, I'm not about to recommend that you jump ship in the hopes that you can build a raft while struggling to stay afloat. That's where my principle of "chicken entrepreneurship" comes in. Chicken entrepreneurship figures heavily in my latest book, Seven Years to Seven Figures . It has certainly helped many of my friends and colleagues build seven-figure incomes. But that doesn't explain the concept. A reporter for CNNMoney who recently reviewed my book Automat

Conceitos Sobre a Vida - Repo Men - Um futuro... distante ?!!

    Hoje assisti a um filme chamado REPOMAN - O Resgate de órgãos ou REPOSSESSION. Esse filme é de 2010 e engraçado como já fazem 4 anos, alguém me disse que precisava assistir a esse filme.... Independente das críticas positivas ou negativas, da trama um tanto previsível, e da falto de alguns artifícios hollywoodianos típicos, o que mais me chamou atenção e me fez não parar de pensar nesse filme (até o ponto de escrever esse blog depois de tanto tempo... :) é o fato da FRAGILIDADE HUMANA!  Como somos frágeis! Como não nos damos conta disso até perdermos um membro, ou ficarmos doentes ou, como no filme mostra: perdermos um órgão!  Um órgão!!!! Apenas 1 órgão!!!! e toda nossa vida vai por água abaixo! Nossa estrutura física, Emocional e familiar se desmantela. Passamos a viver dependentes de terapias, remédios, uma fila de espera para um transplante ou como no filme mostra, passamos a ficar endividados para o "resto da vida" com um órgão artificial! Que
