5 Things – Google is Better than other Search Engines:

The relevance of returned results:

This is pretty obvious at casual glance right? But not all search engines can return contextual information corresponding to the keywords entered by users. For example, an obscure search like “Inventor of electric kettle” will still return a detailed result in case of Google.

Proximity-based search:

Google is smart at detecting intent, even if it isn’t clear in the search. It makes use of the location of the user and bases the search results depending on the geographic area of the user. So, even if you are searching for “Bengali cuisine restaurant near me” sitting in the US, you will find a relevant result.

Reliability and speed:

Let’s get it out of the way: we trust Google. As one of the most used search engines, Google build up this loyalty over the years with its relevant, high quality and enhanced image and video results. It maintains a ranking of sites depending on the relevance of content. It also regularly updates its search algorithms. This makes it the fastest search engine around and is primarily responsible for its accuracy.
