Είναι οι «πύλες εισόδου» στο Διαδίκτυο για εκατομμύρια χρήστες σε όλο τον κόσμο, αλλά και μία από τις κυριότερες οικονομικές δραστηριότητες για τους ιντερνετικούς κολοσσούς που τις έχουν αναπτύξει ή τις διαχειρίζονται. Ο λόγος για τις μηχανές αναζήτησης, στις οποίες καταφεύγει κανείς για να βρει συγκεκριμένες πληροφορίες μέσα στον αχανή όγκο δεδομένων του παγκόσμιου ιστού, απλώς πληκτρολογώντας τις κατάλληλες «λέξεις-κλειδιά». Λέξεις που, από την άλλη πλευρά, οι διαχειριστές του «ψαχτηριού» δημοπρατούν σε όσες θέλουν να διαφημίσουν συναφή προϊόντα, ώστε οι καταχωρίσεις τους να εμφανιστούν δίπλα από τα αποτελέσματα της αναζήτησης.

These advertising campaigns "translate" into billions in profits for the three companies whose services have the highest usage rates worldwide – Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, with the latter using its Bing "search engine" for this purpose Microsoft. Thus, given that, for example, Yahoo this year had revenues of 428 million dollars in just one quarter, and more specifically from April to June, it is natural that the "war" of search engines continues unabated, with the aim of even greater market shares.

In this "war", one of the weapons is the upgrades of the "axes", with the addition of functions that make them more and more useful. Thus, Google has updated the search application it has developed for the iPhone and iPad, making it easier to access the history of searches and integrating it with maps, so that one can find directions to their destination, without having to "open" the application corresponding to this . At the same time, it accelerated the display of the desired web page for those searching from the Chrome browser for Android mobiles, minimizing the time it takes for it to be displayed from the moment the user selects it.

Από την άλλη πλευρά, η Microsoft προχώρησε σε αλλαγές στη web του Bing, ώστε μια σειρά από πληροφορίες να είναι πιο εύκολα προσβάσιμες από τους χρήστες. Τέτοιες πληροφορίες αφορούν τηλεφωνικούς αριθμούς, ώρες λειτουργίας καταστημάτων και οδηγίες πλοήγησης, οι οποίες εμφανίζονται με τη μορφή καρτών στο πάνω μέρος των λίστας αποτελεσμάτων, για να είναι άμεσα ορατές. Θυμίζοντας τις αντίστοιχες κάρτες που χρησιμοποιεί και η Google, ο συγκεκριμένος τρόπος προβολής χρησιμοποιείται τόσο στις αναζητήσεις από υπολογιστές όσο και από φορητές συσκευές. Επιπλέον, η Microsoft ενσωμάτωσε στο Bing το «Pulse 2.0», ένα εξελιγμένο εργαλείο ιντερνετικών δημοσκοπήσεων, το οποίο μπορεί να χρησιμοποιήσει οποιοσδήποτε ιδιώτης ή εταιρεία (π.χ. τηλεοπτικός σταθμός) θέλει να πραγματοποιήσει μια online σφυγμομέτρηση για κάποιο θέμα.

However, just taking PCs into account, Microsoft and Yahoo have a global share of 10,81% and 3,52% respectively, according to analysis firm Netmarketshare. Which means they have a long way to go to get close to 54%, which corresponds to Google's "search engine". That's why Microsoft's strategy also includes using its other popular products to promote the search engine. This started with the release of a cheaper variant of Windows for PC manufacturers and , of "Windows 8.1 with Bing", on the condition that the machines will be sold with its "search engine" in Internet Explorer pre-selected.

More recently, in December, it began with the same purpose of exploiting Word by first introducing in its online version a small search window where Bing undertakes to give information about searches that the user will type. According to the company, this way, one can find the information they need without having to leave the text.

Στον αντίποδα, η Yahoo επέλεξε να αξιοποιήσει το γεγονός ότι, όπως έχουν δείξει αρκετές έρευνες, σπάνια αλλάζει κανείς τη μηχανή αναζήτησης στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης που χρησιμοποιεί, διατηρώντας αυτή που έχουν επιλέξει οι προγραμματιστές που ανέπτυξαν τον browser. Ετσι, ήρθε σε εμπορική συμφωνία με το ίδρυμα Mozilla Foundation, ώστε για την επόμενη πενταετία να είναι προεπιλεγμένο το δικό της «ψαχτήρι» στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης του ιδρύματος, και όχι η μηχανή αναζήτησης της Google, όπως ίσχυε μέχρι τώρα.

In Russia-China

Beyond Yahoo, the Mozilla Foundation also agreed with the companies behind the Yandex and Baidu search engines, so that the two "specimens" are pre-selected in the Russian and Chinese versions of Firefox, respectively.

The two specific machines have a relatively negligible global presence, but they are extremely popular locally. Thus, Yandex's share in Russia is 82%, while in Belarus and Ukraine 52% and 45% respectively. On the other hand, Baidu is currently focusing almost exclusively on Chinese, but it has a 81,7% in a user population that reaches 513 million.

However, the planetary "influence map" of any search engine may change over the next few years, as "Chinese Google", as Baidu has already been "baptized" by Western media, has already shown its intention to extend beyond China.

Proof of the fact that in the summer he gained an annex in Brazil, which launched Busca, a search engine in the local language.

Also, according to statements by Min Jiang's New Scientist, a professor at the University of North Carolina, she plans to give her "present" soon in Indonesia and North Africa.

The parallel with Google comes from the fact that the Chinese company is also investing in technologies that mimic the functioning of the human brain and will make its machine even more "intelligent", so that it can, for example, "understand" natural language and objects which can be seen in all sorts of images. In fact, for this purpose, he recently hired Stanford University professor Andrew Ng, who had started the corresponding Google Brain project on behalf of the American giant.
