Top 5 Search Engines in the World

Which are the 5 best and most popular search engines in the World? Besides Google and Bing there are other search engines that many not be so well known but still serve millions of search queries per day.
It may be a shocking surprise for many people but Google is not the only search engine available today on the Internet! In fact there are a number of search engines that try to remove Google from its throne but none of them is ready (yet) to even pose a threat. Nevertheless, there are search engines that are worth considering and the top 5 are presented below.


1.Google – No need for further introductions. The search engine giant holds the first place in search with a stunning difference of 45% from second in place Bing. According to the latest comscore report (October 2012) 69.5% of searches were powered by Google and 25% by Bing. Google is also dominating the mobile/tablet search engine market share with 89%!


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 third place in search.


4. Ask.com – Formerly known as Ask Jeeves, Ask.com receives approximately 3% 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 0.6%. The AOL network includes many popular web sites like engadget.com, techchrunch.com and the huffingtonpost.com.


Which one is your first choice as a default search engine on your PC? There must be one that you prefer to. Did your browser search engine get changed by adware? Search engine being changed is always such a bad experience


when using a PC. Are you sick of always getting search results from an engine that you don’t like?

Here I highly recommend a reliable and safe tool called UPCleaner. It provides you a One-Click Lock to secure your browser entirely at any time, which allows you to unlock your default search engine easily in case you want to change it to another one. UPCleaner is not only a permanently Windows optimization tool, but also an easy browser protector. Its web browser protection may secure your browser entirely with the one-click lock including your hompage, search engine and browser shortcuts.
