The Search Engine Trinity

In the early days of the web, the number of search engines that you could choose from was vast. Just as Google dominates today, search engines like Excite and AltaVista ruled the search engine world. Search has now moved on, and as with all industries there have been some casualties and takeovers. Smaller search engines are still in existance, but many simply take their information from the big three engines that have in effect carved up the search engine market between them.

Yahooo! www.yahoo.com

The Yahoo! Search facility is another one of the great success stories on the web. Initially having a relationship with Google, Yahoo! acquired Intomi (www.inktomi.com) in 2002, followed by Overture in 2003, which itself owned alltheweb (www.alltheweb.com) and AltaVista (www.altavista.com), two popular search engines. This buying spree has given Yahoo! a very formidable standing in the competitive search engine industry.

BING - www.Bing.com

Bing (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search) is a web search engine (advertised as a "decision engine"), Microsoft's current incarnation of its search technology. Unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009 at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego, Bing is a replacement for Live Search. It went fully online on June 3, 2009, with a preview version released on June 1, 2009. In its first few weeks Bing was successful in gaining some market share.

Google www.google.com

The web giant that is Google was founded in September of 1998. Google is the brainchild of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who were both computer science graduates from Stanford University. They had a burning desire to create a system that would allow the masses of data that the net contained to be easily searched and found. Today, Google is one of the most visited sites on the web, turning over a huge profit every year.
