What caused Google to emerge as a leader in internet search over its competitors?
In the early days of the www as we know it, how did Google take market share away from competitors like Yahoo!, Lycos, Web-crawler, Alta Vista, Netscape, Mamma, Ask Jeeves, etc etc. I’m sure there are several more. Seems that many offer several of the same hits – so how did Google emerge as leader?
Also are there any other search engines not as well heard of that offer any unique features as an alternative?
