Nowadays, the majority of internet searches Internet are done through Google. Google holds a market share of greater than 90% in a number of countries. However, who are its primary rivals? Which other search engines are there to find information on the internet? We'll be discussing the strengths and drawbacks of two search engines. Find out more for an example.
Microsoft's Bing Search Engine
Microsoft's Bing search engine is the most popular alternative to Google. Both search engines appear identical. Both search engines provide information on each result (a title as well as a description and an actual link to the result). Certain searches also include an information panel that includes facts and information on the right side of the navigation pane. Bing also offers vertical search engines specifically for types of content, like images, videos, and news. They can appear in the main search engine results, and on separate pages. Google has been accused of showing YouTube videos in the results of video searches. However, this hasn't been an issue with Bing. Bing is like Google in the sense that it monitors user behavior. This includes persistent information regarding the queries users utilized and the results they clicked on. This gives Bing the capability to show personalised advertising directly in its search results. Bing is also capable of serving personalised advertisements in its Windows operating platform.

Duckduckgo Search Engine
The search engine from DuckDuckGo is a substitute for Google. DuckDuckGo will perform the search for you whenever you start the search. DuckDuckGo then receives the results from Bing and displays the results to you within your web browser. A search on this engine won't bring you in to direct contact with Bing. This means that any personal data such as your IP address or location remains hidden to Bing. DuckDuckDuckGo also inserts advertisements into results from searches. However, it is not able to provide personalised advertising as the US search engine doesn't collect any user information. If you search for "holidays", it will only show advertisements based on the phrase or keyword you searched for. Because it made the decision not to include it, it will not be able to utilize any data it already has about you. We think Bing and Google look very similar. Whether you like one over the other is down to personal preferences. We like DuckDuckGo because it's easier to remain genuinely anonymous.
