What Is a Local Search Engine? A local search engine is a search tool designed to help people find businesses, services, events, and resources within a specific geographic area. Unlike global search engines that index information from around the world, a local search engine focuses entirely on one community—providing faster, more accurate, and more relevant results for nearby users.

What Is a Search Engine?
A search engine is a software system designed to help users find information online. It works by scanning, indexing, and ranking content across the internet (or within a specific database), allowing users to enter keywords or questions and receive a list of relevant results. Popular examples include Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.
