Search engines aren't really biased with domain extensions since these are just to tell the search engines as to which category the URL belongs. But using country specific domains (that carry regional meaning) can help you rank high in that particular country.

It is still an argument among webmasters and site owners though .com is most preferred and picked most. Also most users tend to type .com as a suffix with the name of the site. Country Specific/Target Region domains can also do well.

No, ranking depends on you website quality and the activity which you are doing for your website. And most important thing is content of your website, which should be unique and good.

Country specific extensions like .in , .us are good if you want to rank locally but other domains are all similar. There is no difference between .com , .net or .org in terms of rankings.

You don’t worry about the domain extension because extension doesn’t affect your website ranking. You can worry more about creating great content and you’ll come out on top every time.

The main thing is that if you have use the keyword in your domain name it will be surely helpful to increase the ranking of your website. Concern more about producing great content and you’ll come out on top every time.

Yes it is recommended that it should be .com but not necessary.

It is not necessary at all. The things matter for search engine is your quality of content and number of quality/natural backlinks.
