Most search features use the results of others verbatim. Only four actually search the web and are therefore engines: Google.com, Yahoo.com, Bing.com and Ask.com. The rest just enlist the help of those four, and this is normally indicated by a "Powered by ..." notice at the bottom of the page.
An engine which combines them ("Powered by Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask.com") is known as a meta-search engine. A list and more detailed description of these can be found at the related Wikipedia links.

Generally speaking, meta search engines perform searches using a conglomeration of other search engines. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously.
