The Top Ten Search Engines Only Begin with Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.

This is my top ten search engines in the United States. Not in any particular order.

  1. Google
  2. Yahoo!
  3. MSN (Live Search)
  4. Alexa
  5. Altavista
  6. Ask
  7. Dogpile
  8. AOL
  9. Lycos
  10. Cuil
  11. Google Blog

OK.. So I actually gave you my eleven. I included Google Blog Search because blogs are a sign of the times. Everyone either has a blog, reads one, or is talking about one.

Google

September 7, 1998 Google became incorporated and moved to its first office. Within three years the Google was touting more than 200 million searches a day. Google’s focus of creating a more efficient search engine is a standard that has all other search engine companies scrambling to catch up.

Yahoo! was founded in 1994 by Stanford Ph.D. students. Today Yahoo! is recognized as a global brand for information retrieval and shopping online. Yahoo! is still the leader in traffic, advertising, household and business users.

Live Search

MSN announced the release from beta of Live Search and Live.com on September 11, 2006 in 47 markets world wide. Microsoft employs its own team of editors that monitors the most popular searches being performed and they hand-pick sites that are most relevant.

Alexa

Ask.com

AskJeeves.com was founded in 1996 by Garrett Gruener and David Warthen. In February 2006 the character Jeeves was dissociated With the search engine and it became just Ask, Ask.com.

Dogpile

Dogpile
Dogpile was developed in 1996 by Aaron Flin and later sold to Go2net (which was in turn acquired by Infospace). Dogpile searches multiple engines, filters for duplicates and then presents the results to the user. Dogpile uses multiple popular search engines, as well as sponsored links.

AOL

AOL
AOL Search uses Google for its main listings, just as does AOL’s other major search site. AOL TimeWarner also runs AOL | Netscape Search.

Lycos

Lycos
Lycos was launched as a search engine research project by Dr. Michael Loren Mauldin of Carnegie Mellon University in 1994. Lycos accepts all input from other search engines. In 1999 Lycos became the most visited online destination in the world with a global presence in more than 40 countries.

Cuil

Cuil went live in July, 2008. The creators tout the Cuil search engine as one that organizes web-pages and displays relatively long entries along with thumbnail pictures for many results. They claim with Cuil (pronounced cool) you will be able to search 121,617,892,992 web pages.

Google Blog

Google Blog Search
Google Blog Search is a search engine, with a continuously-updated search index. Results include all blogs, not just those published through another Google community, Blogger. As typical, results can be viewed and filtered by date.

So there you have it my top ten search engines in the United States.
