I think that “Google” is a generic phrase for Internet search, however their dominant position is assured. but you can do something about it as there are plenty of Google alternatives and many of these players offer a better search experience,depending on your needs.
Here are 12 alternatives to escape your reliance on Google for all things search:
Step 1: BingIf you’re a digital marketer using advanced search operators, then use Bing for these queries.
LinkFromDomain: There are any number of tools that can give you inbound link data. There’s only one place to go for outbound link information – Bing.
Feed: Finds RSS or Atom feeds pertaining to the term you specify.
Contains: Returns search results that have links to the file types that you specify.
Near: Useful for spotting patterns. For example, [food near:10 bar] specifies the distance between terms so that documents that contain instances of the specified terms within X words of each other (in the example 10) are returned first in search results.
Step 2: BlekkoIf you hate spam and love slashtags, then use Blekko.
Blekko uses an initiative called slashtags – a text tag preceded by a “/” slash character, which may be used for custom and categorized searches. It also utilizes a unique user interface serving up results by category.
Step 3: BoardreaderIf you’re looking for a simple way to search forums and boards, then Boardreader is for you.
Boardreader serves up information contained in web forums and message boards. Multiple message boards can be searched simultaneously, allowing users to share information.
Step 4: BuzzSumoIf you need to analyze what content performs best for a topic or competitor, you need BuzzSumo.
Enter your keyword and go! This identifies the most shared links on social networks, as well as influencers for specific topics. It’s one of my personal favorites.
Step 5: CC SearchIf you’re looking for media in the public domain, then you need CC Search.
CC Search is a search aggregator offering access to search results provided by a number of independent organizations. Don’t assume the results displayed are under a creative commons license – always verify it, as sponsored results are served up, as well.
Step 6: CrunchBaseIf you’re looking for information about people and startups, then CrunchBase is the place to look.
CrunchBase offers an unparalleled dataset of startup activity. More than 500,000 profiles of people and companies are maintained there by thousands of contributors.
Step 7: DuckDuckGoIf you’re concerned about search privacy, then use DuckDuckGo
If your search history isn’t something that you would be proud to share with grandma or the NSA, then anonymous search engine DuckDuckGo is for you. Personalized results? Fugetaboutit!
Step 8: QuantcastIf you need demographic and traffic stats, then you need Quantcast.
Free and accurate audience insights for more than 100 million web properties. Find detailed demographic, geographic, and lifestyle information.
If you need real-time social media search and analysis, then SocialMention is worth a look.
If you need real-time search for user-generated media, then look no further than Technorati.
Technorati uses tags that authors have included on their websites. These tags categorize search results, with the most recent results appearing at the top.
If you need to search and analyze the social web, especially Twitter, then you should try Topsy.
Social media analytics: Search by time and place, set alerts, and analyze sentiment for every tweet ever made. Discover how often a term is tweeted. Find an influential person on a specific subject.
If you need access to the world’s facts and data, then WolframAlpha is the place to look.
A computational knowledge engine that answers factual queries by computing the answer from externally sourced “curated data. Therfore, from my view ”Google isn’t the only web search engine you can use and isn’t even the best alternative for many specific tasks and needs.
I'd answer with the word Depends.
But if your question is should you also optimize for other search engines (as you've tagged SEO too), I'd say definitely yes. While majority of your search traffic will always be from Google but approx-% market share is also with other engines, so why leave something on the table. Most of the SEO guidelines of Google will suffice for others but a few tweeks and additional tags can help you out for other engines too.
The great thing about search engines is they bring targeted traffic to your website. These people are already motivated to make a purchase from you- because they searched you out.
With the right website optimisation, the search engines can always deliver your site to your audiences.
Crawler-based search engines use automated software programs to survey and categorise web pages. The programs used by the search engines to access your web pages are called ‘spiders’, ‘crawlers’, ‘robots’ or ‘bots’.A spider will find a web page, download it and analyse the information presented on the web page. This is a seamless process. The web page will then be added to the search engine’s database. Then when a user performs a search, the search engine will check its database of web pages for the key words the user searched on to present a list of link results.The results (list of suggested links to go to), are listed on pages by order of which is ‘closest’ (as defined by the ‘bots’), to what the user wants to find online.Crawler-based search engines are constantly searching the Internet for new web pages and updating their database of information with these new or altered pages.Examples of crawler-based search engines are:
A ‘directory’ uses human editors who decide what category the site belongs to; they place websites within specific categories in the ‘directories’ database. The human editors comprehensively check the website and rank it, based on the information they find, using a pre-defined set of rules.There are two major directories at the time of writing:
Note: Since late 2002 Yahoo has provided search results using crawler-based technology as well as its own directory.
Hybrid search engines use a combination of both crawler-based results and directory results. More and more search engines these days are moving to a hybrid-based model. Examples of hybrid search engines are:
Meta search engines take the results from all the other search engines results, and combine them into one large listing. Examples of Meta search engines include:
Specialty search engines have been developed to cater for the demands of niche areas. There are many specialty search engines, including:

- Yahoo Shopping (www.shopping.yahoo.com)
- BizRate (www.bizrate.com)

Thank you for the question and Eed mubarak Mr Ahmad,Beside google, I prefer DuckDuckGo which gives nice results and do not track my activity.
Google is the number one search engine. Most of the people search on google. Google also has its own platform to manage Ads- Google Adwords. Here you can put up your ads and attract people to your website or to buy your product or service. Google also has a vast network where your ads can be shown.Apart from Google you can use Bing as it is number 2. You can use Bing Ad platform to show your ads on Bing search and Yahoo.
No, I suggest you to use google.
I suggest that no other search engine is needed other than google because 69% of all the world searches are from google. It's about more than 2 Billion people around the world search through google.
No. Google is more than enough. It is the most accurate search engine since 1997. That's why it has almost 70% of all Internet searches and 90% of Mobile/Tablet searches. But if you have specific needs, you can for exmaple use yandex.com to search for Russian content, baidu.com for Chinese.
