Search engines on the web are sites enriched with facility to search the content stored on other sites. There is difference in the way various search engines work, but they all perform three basic tasks.

   1. Finding and selecting full or partial content based on the keywords provided.
   2. Maintaining index of the content and referencing to the location they find
   3. Allowing users to look for words or combinations of words found in that index.

There are some common types of web search engines:
1. Local search engines - designed to be used fro offline Pc, CDROOM or LAN searching usage;
2. Metasearch engine - a search engine that queries other search engines and then combines the results that are received from all;
3. Blog search engines - a search engine for the blogosphere. They only index and provide search results from blogs.

Google – No need for further introductions. The search engine giant holds the first place in search with a stunning difference of 45% from second in place Bing. According to the latest comscore report (October 2012) 69.5% of searches were powered by Google and 25% by Bing. Google is also dominating the mobile/tablet search engine market share with 89%!

Bing – Bing is Microsoft's attempt to challenge Google in the area of search but despite their efforts they still did not manage to convince users that their search engine can produce better results than Google.
Yahoo – Since October 2011 Yahoo search is powered by Bing. Yahoo is still the most popular email provider and according to reports holds the third place in search.

Ask.com – Formerly known as Ask Jeeves, Ask.com receives approximately 3% of the search share. ASK is based on a question/answer format where most questions are answered by other users or are in the form of polls. It also has the general search functionality but the results returned lack quality compared to Google or even Bing and Yahoo.

AOL.com – According to netmarketshare the old time famous AOL is still in the top 10 search engines with a market share that is close to 0.6%. The AOL network includes many popular web sites like engadget.com, techchrunch.com and the huffingtonpost.com.

When people point out the term "search engine", it is often used commonly to explain both crawler-based search engines and human-powered directories. In fact, these two types of search engines assemble their listings in radically changed ways and therefore are innately different.

Thank you for post it.  !-!
