FAST Sprints Past Google in Search
Engine Size Wars
June 17th, 2002: FAST
announced today that it has expanded its index to 2.1 web billion
pages, taking the lead from Google in the search engine size
wars. The 2.1 billion documents are searchable at FAST's AllTheWeb.com
search engine, as well as through Lycos, which is powered by
FAST.
Norway's Fast Search & Transfer has been expanding its previous
foundation of 800 million pages over the past two months in
attempt to counter the growth of its nearest rival. AlltheWeb's
effectiveness has already made it a hit among scientists, librarians
and other researchers looking for more obscure data. By pushing
the size of its database AlltheWeb believes it will become more
useful to a broader audience.
John Lervik, chief executive at Fast Search, told Associated
Press: "Our goal is to develop the best search experience
possible."
Google has long boasted of the breadth of its web indexes, but
it also promotes the fact that it uses its own complex formulas
to deliver quick results that list the most pertinent websites.
FAST's number represents "pure" web pages that are
fully indexed, says Axelrod. The number does not include multimedia
or FTP files that are also searchable at AllTheWeb.com
To build this massive index, FAST engineers estimated that their
crawler retrieved between 6 and 8 billion documents. Duplicate
pages and spam were culled before the index was built.
Google is unlikely to stand by and allow FAST to claim the largest
index title for long. Given past rounds in the search engine
size wars, you can expect the number of pages searched displayed
on Google's home page to increase any day now.
GOOGLE
Challenges Yahoo as the No. 1 Search Site in the World
April 30, 2002: Google's Global
Search Referral Percentage Reaches an All-Time High in April 2002.
Google is rapidly gaining market share among search sites and
could surpass long-time leader Yahoo if the trend continues. As
of April 24, 2002, Google accounted for 31.87 percent of all search
referrals worldwide - an all-time high - compared to Yahoo, with
36.35 percent as of the same date, according to the independently
produced report from WebSideStory’s StatMarket StatMarket is a
leading source for data on global Internet user trends, gathering
information from more than 50 million Internet users a day to
more 125,000 sites worldwide.
Google’s search referral percentage has risen sharply in the past
two years, from about 1 percent in June 2000. Yahoo’s percentage,
meanwhile, has dropped from about 46 percent during the same time
period. StatMarket’s search referral statistic is the percentage
of daily Internet users that arrive at a Web page via a particular
search site.
Google has agreements with both Yahoo and Netscape to provide
back-end search capability for visitors conducting searches on
their sites. Google’s back-end service is not included in these
figures; only visitors that search directly from Google’s site
are included in Google’s usage share.
Yahoo’s use of Google’s search capabilities seems to have increased
Google’ s visibility. That's because the Google search engine
powers the Yahoo Web Page Results.
Coming in third place among top search referrers is MSN, which
posted a referral percentage of 12.73 percent as of 24th April
2002.
As of 24th April 2002:
Yet
another feather in Google’s cap
May 1, 2002: Google has been
selected by AOL to provide editorial search results and paid
listings to AOL's various search properties in the United States,
including AOL Search, Netscape Search and CompuServe Search.
The deal ousts Overture, which has provided AOL with paid listings
since October 2000. The listings have appeared under the "Sponsored
Links" heading on the AOL Search site in the US, as well
as appearing in places on the Netscape and CompuServe search
sites.
By joining Google's industry-leading platform with America Online's
extensive consumer audience and popular online brands, the companies
plan to create an even better search experience for AOL's more
than 34 million members and tens of millions of visitors to
America Online's Web-based properties, both domestically and
internationally.
Through Google's advanced search technology, tens of millions
of users of America Online's brands will have access to Google's
wide index of billions of documents.
