'''Naver''' ({{Korean|hangul=네이버}}; stylized as '''NAVER''') is a South Korean online platform operated by the [[Naver Corporation]]. It was launched in 1999 as the first web portal in South Korea to develop and use its own [[search engine]]. It was also the world's first operator to introduce the comprehensive search feature, which compiles search results from various categories and presents them
As of September 2017, the search engine handled 74.7% of all web searches in South Korea and had 42 million enrolled users. More than 25 million Koreans have Naver as the start page on their default browser and the mobile application has 28 million daily visitors.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} Naver has also been referred to as 'the [[Google]] of South Korea'.{{Cite web|last=Bogle|first=Ariel|date=2017-12-04|title=Has the Google of South Korea Found a Way to Save Struggling News Outlets?|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/12/naver-news-ad-revenue/547412/|access-date=2021-06-17|website=The Atlantic|language=en|archive-date=2021-06-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210615060342/https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/12/naver-news-ad-revenue/547412/|url-status=live}}

Naver was founded in June 1999 as the first South Korean portal website with a self-developed search engine. In August 2000, Naver launched its 'comprehensive search' service, which allows users to get a variety of results from a search query on a single page, organized by type, including blogs, websites, images, web communities, etc. The company's name is a play on "navigate" and the suffix "-er", meant to describe one who helps one navigate.{{Cite web |last=Hyee-su |first=Cho |date=2019-05-16 |title=[Behind the Brand: 1] Lotte inspired by a Goethe heroine; Naver helps us navigate |url=https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190516000707 |access-date=2023-07-19 |website=The Korea Herald |language=en |archive-date=2023-06-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230607115115/http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190516000707 |url-status=live }}
In the early days of Naver's operation, there was a relative dearth of web pages available in the Korean language. To fill this void, Naver became an early pioneer in [[user-generated content]] through the creation of the 'Knowledge iN ([[Hangul]]: 네이버 지식인)' service in 2002. In Knowledge iN, users can pose questions on any subject and select among answers provided by other users, awarding points to the users who
Over the years, Naver has continued to expand its services. It launched its Web comic service 'Webtoon' in 2004 and its personal Blog service in 2005. From 2005 to 2007, Naver expanded its [[multimedia search]] services, including music and video search as well as [[mobile computing|mobile]] search.{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}}

Naver announced on its official blog that it would resume its "Today's Diary Challenge ([[Korean language|Korean]]: #오늘일기챌린지)" event, which ended early in three days, from May 24.

Previously, it was difficult to recognize users because only four digits in front of the author's ID who commented on Naver news articles were disclosed. Naver expected that it would be easier to recognize users and solve the problem of malicious comments by implementing such services. Critics criticized the company for its censorship of comments.{{Cite web|last=윤|first=지혜|date=2021-05-04|title="댓글달면 사진뜬다"..네이버 발표에 네티즌들 시끌시끌 – 머니투데이|url=https://news.mt.co.kr/mtview.php?no=2021050410524375121|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-04|website=머니투데이|language=ko|archive-date=2021-05-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504063400/https://news.mt.co.kr/mtview.php?no=2021050410524375121}} === Naver NOW ===
