There are thousands of Search Engines online providing much useful data for its users. While all search engines have common goals of providing us with relevant search results, the methods applied by the Search Engines in providing the data is not always the same. Based upon my own research and Experience in the field, I have highlighted below the most recommended Search Engines around today.

  1. Google.com – This is an obvious choice. Google has one of the largest database of web pages and other documents and the most frequently used Search Engine online today.
  2. Bing.com – Pretty new and hugely popular. The concept looks appealing to many users and the search results are pretty relevant.
  3. Yahoo.com – Although one of the oldest Search Engines online, it has struggled to compete with its bigger competitors mentioned above. Yahoo News is also very popular amongst the financial community.
  4. Ask.com – Although relatively less market value compared with the above, ask.com is still one of the most visited search engine.

The list could go on and on and on…. My choices are based on my years of experience using various search engine features, search results, etc.

It is interesting to know that Yahoo has just announced its integration with one of the most popular social networking site Facebook. It allows Yahoo services to stream Facebook updates directly. People with personalized Yahoo pages can incorporate Facebook information for their viewing pleasure. Once set up, Facebook status updates, pics, and other related info can be viewed directly from Yahoo personalized pages, which would mean that users would not need to leave the site.

Yahoo said it is making privacy settings easier to use with a central dashboard called Yahoo Pulse, but a link to the new dashboard could not be accessed as of the time of this writing.
