Search engine

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
First of all, in the 21st century, everyone's life is closely related to search engines, especially as a student. I use it almost every day, so it is already an integral part of my life. At the same time, the search engine is related to the course of communication, the search engine leads people to meet with countless different points of view, which can be stressful, but at the same time, it is very worthy of people's research.

When I opened this page, I thought it seemed to be a popular science article, and that didn't contain a lot of socio-cultural contradictions and other issues, which is not what I thought it would be, so I think some extended thinking and discussion is needed at the end of the article.

Evaluate the article
The topic of the article I chose is about search engines. In terms of content, the piece has structured historical knowledge, for example, mapping the major search engine companies from 1990 to the present. At the same time, the article gives many links to similar areas; they are helpful and well organized. On the other hand, two parts of the article feel a bit abrupt: search engine bias and religious search engines. While these two sections fall within the 'search engines' category, they are a deeper analysis of the topic and require a new page to be opened for discussion; this is a mixed bag overall.

In the introductory section on market share, the editors only mention Europe, East Asia, and Russia data. There is only one bar chart, which I believe is lacking in evidence. Therefore, this article seems to consider only the mainstream search engine market and does not introduce the case of other regions. In addition, it could add some socio-cultural aspects of the impact of search engines in different periods and how it works precisely.

The article does an excellent job of citing literature, with each blue font pointing to other pages and providing a short and compelling explanation. Doing so dramatically improves reading efficiency, which is convenient for the reader.

Overall, as a reader, the article is well-structured and offers a lot of expertise. However, from different social standpoints, this article lacks some data analysis, so I think the evidence is insufficient when determining the market share of search engines. The interesting point is that when I browsed the talk page, I found that someone asked the same question as me about this part of the religious search engine, and the question doesn't seem to be fixed by the edit.
