Top Ten Search Engines?
More like the top two search engines, actually. Although there are plenty of names around like Lycos, AOL, AltaVista, Jayde and dozens of others, most use either Google or Yahoo underpinnings. Currently, it is estimated that Google accounts for roughly 2/3 of the search market and Yahoo 1/3. This doesn't include some very small, specialized search engines.
We can soon expect a seismic shift, however, with the relaunch of MSN. Until now it has used the Yahoo search engine but will soon switch to its own technology.
