Go to a search engine. A search engine is a website that collects and organizes information on the internet and makes it available for searching. Search engines use algorithms to display the most relevant search results based on trends, your location, and sometimes even your web activity. Many search engines have their own mobile apps that make searching easier on your phone or tablet. Check out some of the most popular search engines: Google is the most popular search engine in the world.[1] It's so popular that the word "Googling" is often used in place of "searching the web." Google also has special image and video search features that make it easy to find all sorts of media. Bing is Microsoft's answer to Google, and the second most popular search engine. Many of Google's functions, like image and video searching, are also available on Bing. Yahoo used to be the largest search engine in the world. These days, it's powered by Bing and delivers similar results. DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search engine that doesn't collect or store your personal information. In fact, this search engine is so privacy-focused that it doesn't even look at your location or IP address. Startpage.com is another search engine focused on privacy, but it uses Google's search engine in the background instead of its own program.[2] The benefit is that you'll get Google's excellent quality results without sacrificing your personal data. Swisscows is another privacy-focused search engine, but it uses its own software that gives relevant results influence by semantics.[3] Yandex is one of the most popular search engines in Russia, but the English version has gained traction in other countries, including the United States.
