Hace algún tiempo, varios followers de este Blog sugirieron que compartiera los recursos de search for information on the internet most used.
The truth is that it is a complicated task and to some extent I do not know how much I can contribute something new. It is not the first time that I have published an entry about this type of application, being the most popular search engines.
The tools I've listed are definitely not all the information search tools out there, but at least that's a start.
Espero poder proporcionarte en este post una recopilación de los motores de búsqueda más famosos que brindan los mejores resultados.
Then let's get started.
Internet Information Search Tools (* 29 *)
The most popular information search tools on the Internet are undoubtedly:
- Horizontal search engines
- Vertical / Singular Search Engines
- Question directories and social bookmarks
- And the meta-motors
These are the oldest and classic information search tools on the Internet. And these are the ones we will focus on in this post.
But it is also useful to know the existence of other applications such as:
- Semrush: diseñado para ver y monitorear los sitios Web de compañías competidoras.
- Alertas de Google: se usan para crear alertas de búsqueda de Google y recibirlas de forma directa en su email
- Web Scrapers: these are applications that are used to extract specific information from web pages
With that cleared up, let's focus on search engines to locate the information we need.
Horizontal Internet Information Search Engines (* 29 *)
As everyone knows, these are the most popular and widespread tools for searching for information on the Internet.
These include:
Los motores de búsqueda horizontales están en su mejor momento en Google.com. En mercados como el español, representa hasta el 90% del total de búsquedas. Estos se caracterizan por la indexing de la Web en busca de contenidos que clasifican y posicionan en sus «rankings» según una serie de parámetros contenidos en su algorithm.

These information search tools on the Internet are less recognized for their particularities.
Each of these search engines specializes in a specific task and is designed to provide information from a different approach.
These are undoubtedly one of my favorite information search tools on the Internet.
- Quora – www.quora.com is a social network de preguntas indexadas por un Search Engine.
- Yahoo! answers – https://es.answers.yahoo.com is the directory of questions launched by yahoo

Although they are not very popular with the Spanish-speaking public, they are a great resource for getting answers to complex questions of all kinds and excellent for finding sources of information, applications and specialized resources.
In the Anglo-Saxon world, they are very widespread and work very well.
You should definitely have them among your internet information search tools.
