What is a search engine (Internet)?

A search engine is an online tool used to search the Internet for relevant information. With the help of search engines, users can search for web pages, images, videos, products, services and many more by typing in search terms or keywords. Most search engines use complex algorithms to generate relevant search results based on various factors such as content relevance, authority, freshness and popularity.

The most popular search engines include Google, Bing, and Yahoo, but there are many others that cater specifically to specific niches or languages. Most search engines also offer additional features such as image search, news search, maps and translations. Effective use of search engines is crucial for many businesses and individuals to get found online and expand their reach.

Below you will find an example list of search engines in alphabetical order. The list offers no guarantee of completeness.

It offers numerous advantages such as the separation of private and business mail, a physical address for local search results and Google My Business, the possibility of use as a virtual office and protection of the privacy and anonymity of business owners.
