Introduction What are Search Engines? A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. In this presentation, we have compared top four search engines: 1) Google 2) Ask 3) Bing 4) Yahoo! On the basis of: - 1. Relevancy 2. Features 3. Popularity 4. Speed

RELEVANCY OF INFORMATION Relevant information, provides limited information and also is the most flexible in term of forms of information i. e video news or images etc. The information presented by it is in ascending order in list form, page by page. This search engine shows the maximum possible outcomes in any form as compared. Least relevant in terms of information, it’s more of do-it-yourself search engine. Ask. com just provides you the relevant websites related to your search and that’s it, making it the least flexible in terms of information variability Relevant information, shows different results as compared, is flexible in terms of informations but is a bit limited in that area. Gives less possible outcomes related to the search it’s more of “next-best alternative” search engine Relevant information, shows similar results like other search engine and also shows more information in a single page with almost the same amount of possible outcomes as other search engines, also has excess variety of information.

Features Has the maximum features available, the interface is really helpful which makes search much more relevant, easier and convenient. Also if you have a google account you can use more features such as translate and other widgets and apps along with it storing your previous searches if YOU want it to do so. Doesn’t have any features as comparative and is really dull in the “features” department It’s the most simplistic search engine as in you just search what you want to and it will direct you to the websites Has a lot of features and is almost similar to google in comparison but what makes it different is that it’s outcome of search result is different from what google and other search engines provide the result it provide is more dynamic and more In-depth. Doesn’t have any large variety of features but functions pretty well without them too. the main difference between yahoo, google and bing is the interface where google and bing are at a superior position than yahoo.

Popularity Google being the most flexible and most “featuristic” web search engine with a friendly user interface plus the google goodname makes it the most popular search engine of all Ask. com is the least popular as compared but it's still on the top 10 chart of search engine securing a 4 th-5 th rank. Ask. com may be lacking in some areas but still fulfills what is asked Bing is in the top position after google, with similar features like google and a the microsoft goodwill it is very popular among people though yahoo and bing keep switching places but because of bing much more user friendly interface it now secures the 2 nd position. Yahoo being one the oldest search engine of the 21 st century has a good amount of followers but hasn't been able to keep up with google or bing in terms of presentation and results. Yahoo secures the 3 rd position becuase it offers more features than Ask. com

Speed Google has a special feature of stating information about the number of results along with how much time it took to find those many search results, on an average google take only 0. 5 seconds to produce the search results Accordingly , Ask takes 1 second to produce search results. Bing, takes 1. 5 second to produce search results Yahoo according to our findings takes 3 seconds to produce search results.
