Search engines are programs (web sites) on the web that search for documents containing keywords or search terms and return any documents (and web pages) containing the relevant words searched for in order of priority.

Many search engines now allow searching for other content like images, videos, news groups and more.
Some search engines are better than others at returning 'relevant' web pages, some web sites profess to be search engines but are really web directories, some are both!

There are many search engines available on the the internet so we've picked a handful of the top ones for you view.
