The search engine: A program that searches information
on the World Wide Web by looking for specific keywords and return a list of
information found on that topic. As example to the search engine:
Search engines do not really search the World Wide Web directly. Each one searches
a database of web pages that it has harvested and cached. When you use a search
engine, you are always searching a somewhat stale copy of the real web page. When
you click on links provided in a search engine's search results, you retrieve the
current version of the page.
Each search engine has its own algorithm for finding information. They are classified
into:
• Human editors: engines that use people to classify web sites into
categories.
• Automated crawlers: engines, which read web pages and store the text.
Search engine databases are selected and built by computer robot programs called
spiders. These "crawl" the web, finding pages for potential inclusion by following
the links in the pages they already have in their database.
• Meta: Engines send the users query to other search engines. And their
databases of web pages, within a few seconds, you get back results from all the
search engines queried. Meta-search engines do not own a database of Web pages;
they send your search terms to the databases maintained by search engine
companies. Meta-Searchers Still Smarter.
