On the territory of our country, the domestic project "Yandex" can be called the leader among search engines, with which the international company "Google" endlessly fights for the right of superiority. Let's see how things are in this area in Europe, what German search engines exist, what are the differences between local versions of international projects.
WEB. DE - secure German Internet portal
Each nation has its own unique national characteristics, which are reflected in the local segments of the Internet. Thus, German search engines are not only diverse, but also not similar to domestic ones, although they work on the same principle. Let's start the review with the WEB. DE portal, which has been providing services since 1995 and is not just a website, but a real “home” on the Internet for German residents. The project was launched as the first commercial German directory of Internet resources. In addition, the German search engine WEB. DE has established itself as the largest e-mail service. On theToday the system provides information, search, entertainment and communication services. More than 15 million people use this project.
Benefits
Other German search engines have a number of drawbacks compared to the project under consideration, because special attention is paid to data security. In addition, site users can place their files on it in order to use the materials in any corner of the globe. Users of the Android mobile operating system will also find a lot of interesting things here - a special catalog of applications is open for them. The mobile version of the portal is optimized for all phone models that support the Internet. The protection of private information is one of the top priorities at WEB. DE. The project administration processes user data only with his permission and only as a last resort, while other German search engines often scan for advertising purposes, for example, private e-mail messages of their users, exchange data without asking and even sell and store IP addresses for many years. All information centers and servers of the WEB. DE portal are located in Germany. The company's employees strictly monitor compliance with all norms of German and international legislation.
Google searches in Germany as well
Introduced in Germany and the German search engine Google (Google Germany), which successfully competes with purely local projects. This company, whichoriginally from the USA, manages to maintain its leadership in the field of Internet services throughout Europe. It is worth noting that over the years of its existence, the appearance of the site and the principles of its operation have changed little. Thanks to the success of the global search engine, as well as income from contextual advertising through the AdSense program, Google was able to become the owner and developer of a number of software solutions, most of which also have German localization and are available to the user immediately after registration in the system. However, high-quality search still remains the main advantage of the company.
