No
a browser is Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape
They are definitely different than a search engine. A browser is anything allows you to view websites or "Browse" the internet. It is what takes you to the search engines and lets you view pictures etc.
It decrypts the language of the web to webpages with graphics and words that we can view and read.

Google is a Search Engine.
A Browser is a program you install on your computer.
Internet Explorer comes with the Microsoft Operating system.
Firefox can be downloaded for free.
A search engine is a WEB Page. Like Google or Yahoo.

A search engine is a document like Google that uses keywords to find the information or website you require. This is handy if you don't know the URL (univeral resource locator or the web address).

(Browser)Short for Web browser, is a software application used to locate and display Web pages. The two most popular browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Both of these are graphical browsers, which means that they can display graphics as well as text. In addition, most modern browsers can present multimedia information, including sound and video, though they require plug-ins for some formats.
A Search Engine is a Software that enables users to search the Internet using keywords. Examples of well known services of this type are AltaVista and Google

No, a browser is the program with which you view pages, such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Basically, it is the program you are viewing this web page with.
A search engine (such as Google, Yahoo, Altavista) searches for other websites using a specified criteria, but the actual search engine is a website that is viewed in a browser.
