search engines
Online query tools
Search engines are software systems that find information on the internet based on user queries.
Google dominates the category, but alternatives like Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo exist.
The term also applies to internal search functions on websites or databases: The library's search engine couldn't find any matching titles.
To search engine something is increasingly synonymous with to google it.
