How to explain search engines differences

[tonil]

You do a search for anything in your windows in the search bar and you need to wait for some time.
It's a local dedicated search not interupted by other users doing other searches.
Then you go to google with completely different and more complex setup,do a search for the same string and you get results in less then a second.
Very similar stats for the bussines apps and other apps when compared to google.
Why and how ?

Google: best search engine for regular stuff; may have agenda that shapes search results; tracks ALL your search results

Duckduckgo: doesn't track you (supposedly); shows balanced results for controversial topics

Bing: great for porn

Yahoo:

if you mean why searching from your start menu/bar finds differnet things and is slow is because its searching your PC then suggested results, and using different tech to do so.
Google is only searching the web...and like I said - different tech

Indexing, and caching I guess for common queries, but it's mostly indexing. Searching an index is much faster than searching a filesystem. If you let your operating system index all the files on your computer, it will speed up your local searches quite a bit.

but still would not be comparable to google search you know it

PC - less data , mostly static , with indexing -> slow search
Google - more data, dynamic, with indexing -> fast search

Alta Vista was where it was at for looking up porn for me back in the day.
