Chris Nolan- Searching the Internet

Everyone knows that google is the most popular search engine all around the world, but which other search engines are popular after google? Google is the first one with sixty percent of popularity, yahoo is the second with twenty percent, Microsoft is the third with ten percent and ask and AOL have five percent each. Google's percentage is around 85-90 at universities because the new generation is basically using google as the main search engine.
While doing search at google, the google's search engine drops off words such as; the words that are searched through out the whole Internet is underlined at the right side, after you search your word. Typing the words in different orders makes slight differences to the results of your search. Most people who are searching in google are satisfied with the results that they find at the first pages, most of the time.
There are some useful features at the advanced search, such as: you can type in the word that you want to search and then put a (-) sign and type the words that you do not want to face at your results. Also you can limit the results with a particular language.
