A search query looking for a specific website is called a navigational query. For instance, such queries as "american express", "vogue", "fox news", "amazon", etc. are termed navigational queries.

The best result for a navigational query is the required site in the first position of search results.

For evaluation of navigational search, the search engines were tested with 200 queries randomly selected from the array of navigational queries. Each query is assigned one or more sites/markers. The top 10 search results are checked for the site /marker entries. When several sites /markers are assigned to a query, each of them listed in one of the top positions is considered a correct answer. Then we calculate the percentage of queries with correct answers found on the SERP. This number is the aggregate indicator of the quality of navigational search.

The best search engine is the one with highest aggregate indicator for this analyzer. In the informer, the search engines are sorted by the aggregate indicator.
