Now a days there are many search engines in the market may be xxxx amount of search engines available. Every search engines are specialized for something. And there are many general purpose search engines. Most famous search engines in market are Google, yahoo and bing and also many other small search engines. But many people are confused about which one is better? Which one provide most accurate answer?
Now there is definite answer to that questions as all the search engines have there algorithm and their tactics to use while search the relevant data for user and presenting them in order of relevance.
Lets run a simple test on all of them:
I tried searching a dry cleaner from Sydney:
I get following result from all different search engines.
Now see the text version of results:
Google top results:
www.drycleanersweb.com.au/
www.lawrencedrycleaners.com.au
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning
and then I get local result which is near by me.
Yahoo result:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning
www.drycleaningcomplaints.com/index.html
www.dry-clean.com.au
Bing
www.pinstripe.net.au
www.lawrencedrycleaners.com.au
www.syndalsdrycleaners.com
Now compare the result.
I guess Google’s result is more accurate and useful to me as I am search for dry cleaners around my area and I want dry clean my cloths. And Google map is giving proper result which is nearby my place so I have local list of dry cleaners as well.
On other hand yahoo’s result is more of a information about dry cleaning such as how it works est.’s its reporting Wikipedia as top website. Now if you are looking for information then yahoo is probably better
Being is not reporting any information website so but all professional dry cleaners. So if you are looking for information only then bing is not useful to you. But for real dry cleaners search you can use this.
So all have their own tactics of presenting on what you are looking for. But Google is best as it is representing you local results as well as informative website. Its mix of information so even you doing research only or searching for dry cleaner around your area you can rely on that result. While other SE representing information only or dry cleaners only sort of result. So depend on what you are looking for you can choose the different SE.
Other comparison is Google, bing and yahoo is giving you related search done by other users. so if you are missing anything or don’t have idea of what to search for then you can use that sort of data and get more ideas of what other are search or what should you search for if you are looking for something different.
And yahoo is putting more weight on sponsored listings. As its putting sponsored results on top, on right hand side and on bottom as well.
So when it comes to the useful data, it looks like Google is more accurate and giving very useful data taking all types of people in mind. While yahoo and Bing is providing results like specialized for research or end users.
80% of search engine users will vote GOOGLE best. Now a days search engine is equivalent to GOOGLE. it’s like COlgate brand name being used for the actual products i.e tooth paste
Isn’t it
