Search Engine Reviews

What the Industry Reports:

Best overall search engine: Google retains its title as leader of the pack amongst the most popular search engines. Google is the clear favorite among both users and reviewers for its lightning speed and ease of use. Industry experts who have offered reviews also give Google high scores for its disclosure practices, because it is easy to differentiate paid ads from authentic search results. Google also leads the field in adding features like image search, video search and blog search; you can even search inside books with Book Search. It is interesting to note that besides all the Google hype the industry reviewers state that Google doesn’t always have the most relevant search results for each search. Rather, industry reviewers recommend you utilize Google in conjunction with one or more search tools.

Best search engine, toolbar, desktop search combination: Yahoo! Desktop routinely gets top ranking in reviews and Yahoo! usually comes in second for best search engine. So, if you require a one integrated product that covers all the bases, Yahoo! is an exceptional choice. Yahoo! When deployed with a free expansion kit, searches the most types of files and reviewers praise the way Yahoo! filters and previews results. The Yahoo! Toolbar includes anti-spyware and a pop up blocker, BONUS!
Best new search engine: The reviews say new Windows Live Search is a big improvement over MSN search! Windows Live Search differentiates itself in that search results are presented on a single massive page alleviating the need to constantly click “next” to see more results. Windows Live Search also gets praise for its image search because of the amount of integrated customization offered.

Best Alternative to Google: Ask.com, formerly AskJeeves.com, earns the blue ribbon for most improved search engine. Industry reviewers have stated that it is now significantly better at keeping ads distinct from search results, and the relevancy now matches (and occasionally exceeds) Google’s Search results now include a helpful set of cross-referencing terms to help users refine searches, and Ask.com also searches blogs, online communities and social networks.

Metasearch engine: Jux2 combines search results from Google, Yahoo and MSN so you can easily search all three simultaneously! Reviewers praise Jux2, unlike other search engines, because it clearly identifies paid ads from search results. You also have the ability to separate the results from each search engine.
