About AOL® Search

When you use AOL® Search with Google™, you search less and discover more. Our new product delivers comprehensive web results from Google, and enhances your access to all your favorite kinds of web content - the latest, most interesting and most relevant on the web.

Search Categories

Web Search


Web search results are Websites listed in order of relevance, with listings with the highest relevance appearing first. These listings are administered, sorted and maintained by Google. These results may contain objectionable material not endorsed by AOL. For information on how Google sorts these listings, go to About Google.


Image Search


Image search results are sorted by relevance, with the most relevant images appearing first. These listings are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google. Google considers a number of factors when determining whether an image is relevant to your search request. Because these methods are not entirely foolproof, it's possible some inappropriate pictures may be included among the images you see.


Video Search


Video Search results include multimedia streams and files (Real® Media, Windows® Media®, QuickTime®, MP3 and Flash®) from the Web, sorted by relevance. Video search results are powered by AOL® Video. For more information about technologies, policies and to submit your videos for inclusion, go to http://video.aol.ca.


Advertisements

Sponsored Links
Sponsored links that appear in AOL Search results or on AOL channels are listings that have been purchased by companies to have their businesses or Web sites appear for specific search terms related to their services. Sponsored links, also sometimes referred to as pay-per-click ads, are administered, sorted and maintained by Google and AOL.

Web Offers and More
Web Offers and More are listings that display offers related to the search terms you enter. These sponsored link listings are maintained by third parties and not endorsed by AOL.
