Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Ask (formerly Ask Jeeves) are the most popular names in Search Engine world. Forgot about any other Search Engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN are the three main Search Engines at the moment. All the other Search Engines are either their portals or drives search results from these three.
