Search behavior is moving beyond the Big 2

Search behavior has changed—and so has your audience

A new white paper explores how users are expanding their search behavior beyond the dominant engines, turning to alternative platforms that offer more privacy, personalization, and relevance. From privacy-first search engines to custom browsers, keyboard apps, and mobile launchers, today’s discovery journey is starting in more places than many marketers realize.

The report breaks down:

  • Why traditional search strategies are struggling to keep up
  • Which alternative platforms are seeing increased adoption
  • How marketers can connect with high-intent users across a fragmented search landscape

If your strategy still centers on a few well-known engines, this guide offers a clear view of where—and how—search is happening now. Get your copy here.
