What's
a Search Engine?
Web sites like AltaVista, InfoSeek, Excite, Yahoo, etc...these
are search engines. You can go to these search engines to
find web sites and pages of a particular topic that is of
interest to you.
Different
Types of Search Engines
The word 'search engine' is often used to describe
both search engines and directories. Here are the differences.
Search
Engines such as AltaVista, create a database of web sites
by 'crawling' the web. This database is then searchable by
you, the end user. As web pages are changed, the search engine
will eventually detect it, and the listing will be changed
automatically. Human involvement in this process is very little.
Web sites are accepted based on a given set of variables,
originally programmed by the owners and operators of the search
engine.
Directories
like Yahoo relies on human involvement for its existence.
In order to get a site listed in the Yahoo directories, one
must submit a short description of the site. The staff at
Yahoo will then review the site that you have submitted, and
determine if it would be a valuable addition to Yahoo, based
on their own predetermined list of criteria. Changing a page
on your site in this case would not effect it's listing at
Yahoo.
Hybrid
Search Engines. Some search engines have both a directory
based system, and a search engine based system all in one
place. When you perform a search in Yahoo, for instance, you
are first directed to all the sites listed in the Yahoo directories
that match your search. If there are no sites in the Yahoo
directories that match your search, Yahoo gives you the option
of clicking into all the matches in it's associated search
engine, Google. It is much easier to get into Yahoo's Google
search engine. And that is why there are so many more web
sites in Google.
