The Best Search Engines of 2020
Posted Oct. 27, 2020, 2:15 a.m. by Emil S.If you've been hooked on to the internet for a long time now for your search and review, you will already know that there was a time when only two major search engines were available all across the world - Yahoo and Google and several other players also launched their search engines in the market. I don't think even one day goes by that I do not pick up my phone or laptop to search for something on Google.
Search engines have become an essential part of our life. Whether browsing for the nearest gas station or looking out for some reviews for the latest products that we're looking to buy, we're becoming more and more dependent on search engines for our daily questions. Not only do they help us to go through tons of information in seconds, with the right keywords, we’re generally able to find what we're looking for relatively quickly across the internet.
Although we do not pay a lot of attention to avoid going behind the scenes when we are typing in a keyword, search engines' efficiency depends on accuracy in terms of results shown after searching. We've tried to list down some of the most popular search engines that you can use on an everyday basis. Scroll below to discover more.
DuckDuckGo
With all the controversies around Google, DuckDuckGo is becoming extremely popular with users who are quite sensitive about sharing their information. The search engine boasts of never sharing their customer's and user's data or even storing it without their permission. It runs on an exciting algorithm with features such as no click information, where if you ask a question on the search engine, you get all the information on the first page itself. The accuracy of the results is outstanding. However, since they do not store your information, the products are not personalized. It is as fast as other search engines and has a very straightforward and clean interface.Bing
Owned by Microsoft, it is the second most powerful search engine in the world. Although its user base is not as huge as Google, it comes up with more accurate results, and with the filters that it provides on the search results in terms of pictures, news, and maps, it has a very desirable interface. When you search on Bing, you get to accumulate points that you can later redeem in Windows and Microsoft stores. It is compatible with all browsers and has fantastic video indexing.
Although it is slightly slower than Google, it can reveal some hidden content that sometimes even Google cannot show.Dogpile

The Internet Archive
For anyone who has used the internet ever since the archive is a place to go. It helps you to look at snapshots at different points in time across what was happening on the world wide web at a given moment. Although you can use it to find music videos and other search results, the archives have various things in a more historical context. Even though you cannot replace it with Google Bing or Yahoo, if you need to reference something in the past or across history, this is your search engine.
