Most Popular Search Engines 1993-2021

In this data visualization video I look at the most popular search engines based on average monthly users, the industry standard when comparing search engines and websites. It does not take into account page views nor unique visitors. Some of the data includes approximate numbers as the data available skipped years. The data comes from Wikipedia, Google Books, Alexa PR, and a few search engine trackers.
I also include screenshots of certain search engines as they looked during that particular year.
The songs are all from MelodyLoops.com:

Google stopped giving accurate search results in the late 2010s. I use firefox to simultaneously search google, bing, yandex, duck, and yahoo. When I am searching for worksheets to make homework for students, google consistently hides the free content and forces me towards the paid worksheets.

@nekola203 18 дней назад

Which one gives the most organic results tho?

@Terrakinetic 18 дней назад

@@nekola203 Yandex has the best non-pay results at the top of their search results, but it also has no care about sending you to virus-ridden websites. So, free-movies, emulators, roms, torrents, etc. Yandex is the only search engine that still lists those results.

@LtexprsGaming 2 года назад

@stevevasta 2 года назад

Mostly people acting like lemmings: everyone uses Google, so everyone uses Google. (I admit, I mostly use it.) It was the same with the switch to Gmail, which is not markedly superior to other Web e-mail. (AOL, for example, actually makes it easier to sort and choose individual elements of a conversation, almost impossible on Google.) But everyone went and migrated to Gmail, so everyone else did. There you have it.
