Now highlight items that are specifically from that search engine in a column to the right. Unfortunately, this took away my Suggested Searches, and the only way I could get it back was to backtrack to my original search query. Now, why would you want to single out a particular search engine? Because search engines will return dramatically different results for the same search query, and once you start comparing the results in Dogpile, you'll see what I mean. For example: I clicked all the buttons available to me and got four side by side columns, all with results for Terrace a Steep Garden, and very few of the search results actually overlapped. A nice feature that cuts down on Web hopping time. Dogpile Image SearchDogpile's Image Search brought back fantastic results, including my favorite feature on the far right to suggest to me better search queries. Dogpile Audio and Video SearchAudio Search surprisingly enough did NOT return audio results for terracing a steep garden (aren't you shocked!), but when I truncated it to "garden", I receieved stellar results from Yahoo Search, SingingFish, and more. Most of these audio results have a quick thirty-second preview, but quite a few of them were available full-length. Dogpile's Video Search is also powered by Yahoo Search, SingingFish, and more, and was similar to the Audio Search in previews and full-length results. Dogpile News SearchNews Search was sortable by relevance and date, with search results returned from sources as varied as Fox News, ABC News, and Topix. The Yellow and White Pages searches are pretty standard, with fields to search by business name, individual name, etc. And throughout all these various searches (except for the Yellow and White Pages), the ubiquitous "Are You Looking For" feature was always there, steering me to better-worded search queries.References:

Personal data.DuckDuckGo appeals to users who prioritize privacy and anonymity while searching the web. It has seen steady growth in popularity, particularly among individuals concerned about online privacy and surveillance. While DuckDuckGo may not have the extensive reach or features of larger search engines, its commitment to privacy has earned it a dedicated user base.Search Engine Market Share: February 2023 – February 2024According to statistics from Statcounter GlobalStats, Google still owns the biggest share of the search engine market by a wide margin. The following are the worldwide statistics on all platforms as of February 2024:Google – 91.62%Bing – 3.31%YANDEX – 1.84%Yahoo! – 1.08%Baidu – 0.77%DuckDuckGo – 0.53%The following are the same statistics from one year prior in February 2023:Google – 93.37%Bing – 2.81%Yahoo! – 1.13%YANDEX – 0.84%DuckDuckGo – 0.52%Baidu – 0.45%While Google still owns the biggest market share, its share did drop nearly two percentage points. Within the last year, Bing, YANDEX, and Baidu grabbed a bigger share of the market while Yahoo! dropped slightly, and DuckDuckGo remained about the same. It is important to remember that even though Google is the largest search engine by a large margin, the other search engines shown here are still used by millions, if not billions of people each year.The Gains of Microsoft BingIn February 2023, Bing revamped their search engine to be powered by ChatGPT. Many believed that this would make Bing more competitive with Google, and while Bing has captured a slightly larger share of the market, it is still way behind the search engine giant.Between February 2023 and February 2024, the U.S. search engine market share for Bing increased from 6.35% to 7.87% while it’s worldwide share increased from 2.81% to 3.31%. Over the same period, Google experienced a decline in U.S. search market share from 88.96% to 87.46% and worldwide from 93.37% to 91.62%. Bing managed to take about 1.5% of the U.S. market share from Google but gained less than a percentage point from Google’s 2% decline on the worldwide market.While this may seem like a small gain, Microsoft has said that taking even 1% of the market share from Google could mean $2 billion in new search revenue. Microsoft only publicly shares percentages in its earnings reports and in January 2024, they reported an 8% increase in revenue from Search and News Advertising. This means that the 1.5% of the market share they took from Google is likely responsible for this increase in revenue.Search Engine Marketing from Proceed InnovativeIn general, the search engine market share has maintained the status quo with Google on top and Microsoft Bing as a very distance second. However, the gains made by the other search engines should not be ignored as increases in market share for Bing, YANDEX, and Baidu translate to millions more users and a significant increase in revenue.While Google should still be the main focus, it can benefit businesses to have a presence on all major search engines.
