Major Search Engines:

 

[From SearchEngine Watch]

 

"Why are these considered to be "major" search engines?

 

Because they are either well-known or well-used.For webmasters, the major search engines are the most important places to be listed, because they can potentially generate so much traffic.

 

For searchers, well-known, commercially-backed search engines generally mean more dependable results. These search engines are more likely to be well-maintained and upgraded when necessary, to keep pace with the growing web."
