Top Five Search Engines

     1. Google

In the last few years Google has achieved the No,1 search engine on the net and has consistently maintained that position. Users are attracted to its large listings and ease of search; and with the launch of Adwords(Google's PPC program) businesses are utilising them to help them in the marketplace.

      2. Dogpile
Dogpile is a meta search engine which means it fetches results from different search engines and directories and compiles them together for the user, essentially becoming the biggest search engine. Some of the search engines it uses are Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, Ask , About, MIVA, LookSmart, and more.

      3. Answers
Answers is an innovative way to search for queries without having to sift through results of search engines. It works by sorting through various links to find an answer and "displays quick, snapshot answers with concise, reliable information."

      4. Ask
Ask is a crawler based search engine with distinguishable search features. It is also the parent company of notable web pages such as Ask for Kids, Bloglines and Teoma which use the underlying search technology from ask.

      5. Yahoo
Yahoo is not only a search engine but also a subject directory and web portal. Like Google, it provides search results based on their own search engine database and are quite similar although less popular.
