The three major search engines:

-Google

-Yahoo

-MSN (Bing) by Microsoft

are all in competition with each other. Their goal is to provide searchers with the best possible results - determined by their individual search algorithms.

There are also other META search engines like Dogpile, Lycos or ASK which compile data usually from the major ones.

Searchers choose to use the search engine they believe provides them with the best results. Google is by far the most popular followed by Yahoo, then Bing.
