Searching the Internet

Search Engines and Subject Indexes A Short Introduction This introduction to searching the internet gives a brief explanation of serveral terms and defines different types of internet pages for searching like individual search engines, meta-search engines, subject indexes, and more...   Individual Search Engines are used to search for a subject by entering a word or words describing that subject. These search engines will return a list of web sites related to that subject. Meta-Search Engines allow a search to be submitted to several search engines at the same time.   Subject Indexes are for those searchers who know the topics that they are looking for and want to browse through lists of subjects related to these topics. Internet Portals are hybrids containing links to both search engines and subject directories. Kid Safe Search Sites are directories and search engines which have been screened or filtered to remove objectionable content.   Specialized Subject Indexes and Search Engines are search engines and directories for one particular topic such as movies, medicine or government information.   All-in-One Search Pages contain forms which let you submit your search terms to search engines and directories individually from that search page without having to travel to the web site of each search engine.   Websites with further information: Your Listing on this Page Your website could be listed on one of our pages with stories from A-Z!

Individual Search Engine Sites A Short Introduction Search engines index web sites using electronic means such as spiders, robots or worms which roam the web and compile a database of information. In its basic form, the results list from a search of this database contains a list of web sites which contain that search term, and the placement of the web sites on that list is based upon the frequency of the appearance of that term, its location on the page and similar factors.	Wikipedia Definition: Web search engine A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.
