Google |
|
| Currently the most well-known search engine. It has risen to prominence because it ranks sites according to popularity. It uses the number of links to a site to determine how important the site is relative to others and places these linked to sites high up in the returned search results. Google also has specialised searches for blogs, images, news, scholarly journals, patents and books. Its interface is also extremely simple and easy to use. | ||

Yahoo |
|
| This is the ‘grandpa’ of search engines and has over the years built up a loyal community around it. The search facility appears at the top of the page and a portal filled with numerous services and content appears on the same page. Noteworthy features include shortcuts to dictionary, synonyms, patents, traffic, stocks, and an encyclopaedia. | ||
