No.

A web browser is a program the runs on your computer. It sends requests to web servers elsewhere. The web server sends back a responds with the information requested. Often, the returned information includes information about more information to be retrieved from the internet such as pictures images, videos,and other things and the web browser will also send out requests for these other items to displayed in the retrieved web page.

A search engine is a web server that receives requests from your web browser for information as a a search phrase. The search engine, which at times will search all the internet randomly for information and save it, will return any information it already has about the search phrase it was given.

Examples are metaspider.com and megaspider.com Then you have human based search engines (Directories). Those display results based on the information listed in their directory. A fantastic example is Speaktoo.com which is a fee speech platform You have mashup search engines that combine the api of other search engines, such as: Dogpile.com- All the search engines piled in one or Avasearch.com - use Google's algorithms but emphasizes the best of the web You have niche search engines, such as: Clasearch.com the classified ads search engines or Local.com for displaying results based on their regions.
