I was doing a search on the internet the other day and realized (not that I never knew before) that no two search engines provide the same results. That considered, it suddenly dawned on me the fact that there are literally thousands of search engines on the internet. I then decided to conduct a little search on the names of some of them.

The list I came across (there is more but I can’t list all) were as follows:

1. Google
2. Yahoo! Search
3. MSN Search
4. A9
5. Alexa Web Search
6. AllTheWeb
7. AltaVista
8. AOL Search
9. Ask.com
10. HotBot
11. IceRocket
12. Lycos
13. AllinOne MetaSearch
14. Don Busca
15. Dogpile
16. Fazzle
17. Ixquick
18. Mamma
19. MetaCrawler
20. SurfWax

How much more do you know and use? How would you rate them? It is said Google is the best, followed by Yahoo! and then MSN Search. Do you feel the order is correct? I would say Google is number 1, especially since many of my sites are listed in Google, a few with number 1 positions based on search criteria. Don’t believe me? Well, run a search on Google for this blog by putting in my name: Kraig Grayson. What did you see? Told you!

Anyway, have a good one. Hope to write again soon.
