The search engine wars.....



            “But it’s not Google” is the phrase invented by Google fans to joke Bing the emerging search engine in the market. Bing has been able to possess real threat to some old search engines in the game such as Yahoo search engine and Google search engine. Although the market share of Google is far away from its competitors still the opponents challenge makes you to grow stronger and become even more creative to continue to dominate and rule the game. 
               For many years the MSN search engine have been lagging behind the giants Google and Yahoo search engines this has been a major challenge facing Microsoft goal of monopolizing the computer industry by trying to lead in the search engine business too.  Microsoft as claimed Bing is not a substitute for Live.       Microsoft manager Dorothee Ritz explain “Bing is not a search engine but a decision machine” There were a lot of mistakes and drawbacks in the windows live.com search engine projects which were rectified in the Bing search engine. 
                The main challenge that Bing will always face in this war is that people behind Google lab are not sleeping they always come up with new features in their search engine. For example Bing can real do good in the US but when it comes to the localization Google has proven to be the master. Search engine which corresponds to the specific area on the globe or region in the country Google will sufficiently provide enough details about the searched query. The main advantage of Bing is that it allows the users to comment on the pictures and give some rectification about the search results which enables the future enhancement of the search engine and improved output for future queries of the same results.
The search engine market share:
            Recently in one of my projects I was using wolfram alpha search engines. The search engine was created by mathematician inventor Stephen wolfram; calculate concrete answers for concrete questions. Links are not in a results list instead this search engine provides simple facts related to the search query. For example if you search for “Kilimanjaro” the options will come for Kilimanjaro as a city or a mountain and all the results based on mathematical operations will pop up giving enough details and detailed explanation graphs and geographical locations on the world map. Furthermore it will provide the height of the mountain and the distance from nearby towns and the height from the sea level. The search engine is great for navigators, researchers and scientists. The only drawback the search is limited and details for some terms or places cannot be found easily and since it is mainly based in mathematics operations a lot of data which is not numerical based cannot be found easily.
            

You can test and compare the performance of both the search engines at this link www.blackdog.ie/google-bing here you can compare both of the search engines and come up with your perception wither Bing will be able to compete with Google in the market share.
