Bian Xiao W, whether doing website optimization or being a programmer, as long as everyone on the Internet has been exposed to search engines, his unfamiliarity with major search engines will have such embarrassing limitations. Today, Bian Xiao introduces the companies and historical origins of major search engines in chronological order!
1, Yahoo search
Yahoo, the first generation search engine, was founded by Yang Zhiyuan in 1994. People usually use browsing lists to find websites, which are divided into various topics.
Yahoo co-founders Jerry Yang and david filo immediately realized that they needed a better name for their browsing list than "Jerry Yang and David's World Wide Web Guide". They thought of Yahoo! , is the abbreviation of "another hierarchical and informal Oracle".
Yahoo quickly became the most popular search engine on the Internet. Search engines can help you locate any information or service, rather than help you find any matching web pages through keywords. This difference is crucial, because it is this difference that led to the decline of Yahoo as a search resource, and also directly led to Yahoo's announcement to close the Yahoo directory in 20 14.
How would you feel if I told you that Yahoo originally meant "hillbilly"?

Google search engine was founded on 1998 by two doctors of Stanford University, Larry Page and sergey brin, and developed into the largest search engine several years later. Google needs to process 200 million search requests every day, and the database contains 3 billion web files.
Google search engine has four functional modules: website, picture, newsgroup and directory service, providing two functions: regular search and advanced search.
The origin of Google search engine name: Anderson and Page are sitting in the office, trying to come up with a good name related to massive data index. Anderson mentioned the word "googolplex" (meaning 1 followed by 10 and 0 followed by 100), while Page mentioned the abbreviation of the word "googol" (that is, 100). At that time, Anderson was sitting in front of the computer. He searched the Internet domain name registration database to see if the name of this new invention had been registered and used. Anderson made a spelling mistake. He entered the word "google.com" in the search, and he found that the domain name could be used.
