AOL Search

AOL Search provides users with editorial listings that come Google's crawler-based index. Indeed, the same search on Google 
and AOL Search will come up with very similar matches. So, why would you use AOL Search? Primarily because you are an AOL 
user. The "internal" version of AOL Search provides links to content only available within the AOL online service. In this 
way, you can search AOL and the entire web at the same time. The "external" version lacks these links. Why wouldn't you use 
AOL Search? If you like Google, many of Google's features such as "cached" pages are not offered by AOL Search.

Getting Listed: AOL essentially duplicates the editorial and ad listings that are shown on Google, so you need to be listed 
with Google in one of these ways, as described above .

operates and why there may be subtle differences between it and Google.
