Search Engine News Blog | CarbonFoot

Find the latest news on the major top-tier search engines as well as second or third-tier search engines right here. But let’s face it – the majority of our blog posts will cover Google.

That said – the re-launch of Microsoft’s former LIVE.com search engine in it’s new incarnation – BING , may begin to change the landscape for market share of searches and thus our coverage of not just Google, but Yahoo!
