The popularity of search engines is measured by special statistical services. Search engine ratings are radically different across the world map. Despite Google's absolute leadership in the global top, this search engine is not in the first place in all countries.
Global search engine ranking in 2022
According to the latest data of StatCounter, Google is the most important search engine in the world. After it, there come Bing from Microsoft, then Yahoo from the USA, Baidu from China, and Yandex from Russia. The list of top 10 search engines includes AOL, Ask.com, Mail.ru, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and others.
However, global statistics do not always coincide with regional ratings and do not reflect the popularity of several local search engines. To verify this, let us analyze the largest regions separately.
China

Which countries use Google search engine?
Google is not just popular in its native country, but it is also the leading web search provider in a number of important online countries, with more than 80% of desktop search traffic.

What are the 5 top search engines?
1
The absolute world leader in the list of search engines is Google, which processes more than 90% of the search queries. A third of the search engine users are in the United States.
Google was created in the late 90s. Over time, the search engine interface has been adapted to different countries. Periodically, instead of the logo, a unique animation appears above the search bar.

The name "google" was approved due to a mistake by its creators. The word "googol" was originally proposed, which means a value with one hundred zeros. But a mistake was made when registering a domain, which subsequently played a decisive role in determining the final name.
2
Bing is the second most popular search engine in the world. It was introduced by Microsoft in 2009.
The interface is quite simple, with a dynamically updated background and a minimum number of links. There is an opportunity to search for pictures, videos, words, or news. Bing is a default search engine on Windows smartphones. Most users of this search engine are located in the USA, Germany, and China.

Yahoo is the very first search engine in the world. It appeared in 1994 when modern popular search engines were not yet created. Yahoo searches for words, news, pictures, and videos based on Bing.
4
Baidu is second in the world due to its huge popularity in China. Among the CIS countries, Chinese popular search engines are not in demand due to intrusive translation extensions, which are perceived by browsers as malware.
An encyclopedia is built into Baidu, which is ahead of Wikipedia in terms of popularity in China.

What search engines are used around the world?
Many people may be surprised to learn that Google is not the only search engine available today on the Internet!
In truth, there are a slew of rival international search engines vying for Google's crown, but none of them is ready (yet) to even come close to posing a danger.
