The Best Search Engine According to PC World

By Manoj Jasra

PC World has recently released the results of their "Search Engine Shoot-Out"

We tested a total of 55 services in six categories: general (text info), video, mobile/local, news, images, and blogs. We conducted our tests over three weeks. We used ten terms in each category. For general text-information searches, for instance, our categories included technology, pop culture, research/academic topics, books, and travel/shopping

Google came out on top but it wasn't an undisputed win because in the text category both AltaVista and AllTheWeb scored higher.

Here are the results from the 6 Categories:

- Text Search
- Blog Search
- Video Search
- Image Search
- News Search

- Local Search
