Search Engines
What are some popular search engines?
Google is by most accounts the best general purpose search engine available on the Internet. Unlike other search engines, Google ranks a site according to how many other Web sites have hypertext links to that site. As a result, the most relevant sites tend to appear at or near the top of many search result lists.
