The three major search engines:
-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.
There are primarily three types of search engines: traditional search engines, vertical search engines, and meta-search engines. Traditional search engines like Google and Bing index the entire web and return results based on algorithms. Vertical search engines focus on specific niches or industries, such as medical or academic searches. Meta-search engines aggregate results from multiple search engines to provide a broader range of information.
There are differen kinds of multiple search engines: Webcrawler.com, metacrawler.com, dogpile.com are searching both Google, yahoo, bing at the same time, and give results from both engines.

There are several types of search engines, including general search engines like Google and Bing, which index the entire web. Vertical search engines focus on specific niches, such as health or travel, providing specialized results. Meta-search engines aggregate results from multiple search engines, while local search engines prioritize geographically relevant content. Additionally, there are image, video, and academic search engines tailored for specific media types or scholarly research.
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. Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. This also may save the user from having to use multiple search engines separately.
Searching on multiple engines at the same time for the same thing.
A metasearch engine is designed to search across multiple individual search engines simultaneously. Instead of maintaining its own database, it aggregates results from various search engines, providing users with a comprehensive list of results from different sources. Examples of metasearch engines include Dogpile and MetaCrawler. These engines help users save time by consolidating search results into one interface.
