A search engine is a website through which users can search internet content. To do

this, users enter the desired search term into the search field. The search engine then looks
through its index for relevant websites and displays them in the form of a list. In this lesson
you will learn the about tags and different classification of search engine.

LO 4. Use search engine to access information on the Internet.

 Introduce tags.
 Classify search engine.

INFORMATION SHEET
A tag is a keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet
bookmark, digital image, database record, or computer file).
Tags are the basic formatting tool used in HTML (hypertext markup language) and other
markup languages, such as XML. 
The tag is an HTML command that shows layout or display desired output of a whole part of
the Web page.
A tag contains three parts: element (identification of tag), attribute and value.
The basic structure of tag is: text
HTML tags can be two types:
 Paired Tags – it is also called container tag. A tag is said to a paired tag if it along
with a companion tag or closing tag appears at the end. In paired tag, first tag is called
opening tag and the second tag is called closing tag.

 Singular Tags – the second type of tag which is also known as stand-alone tag or
empty tag. The stand alone tag does not have companion tag or closing tag.

What is search engines ?

A search engine is a program to help you find webpages on the internet. Search
engines do not search the whole web, but only an index of the web. Some examples of search
engines include Google, Yahoo and Bing.

TYPES OF SEARCH ENGINES

1. Crawler based search engines

This search engines use a "spider" or a "crawler" to search the internet. The crawler
digs through individual web pages, pulls out keywords and then adds the pages to the search
engine's database. Google and yahoo are examples of crawler search engines. Crawler-based
search engines are good when you have a specific search topic

a. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998

The homepage of Google has a button labeled as “I’m feeling lucky ”. When a
user types in a search and clicks on the button , the user is directly taken to the first
search result.
Google has various “special features” which include weather, unit conversion,
currency conversion, time , calculator, maps etc

b. Yahoo was founded by David Filo and Jerry Yang. Yahoo operates a portal that
provides the latest news, entertainment, and sports information. The portal
also gives users access to other Yahoo services like Yahoo Mail, Yahoo
Maps, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Groups and Yahoo Messenger

2. Directories
• Directories depend on human editors to create their listings or the database. Yahoo
directory, open directory and look smart are few examples. • Human-powered directories are
good when you are interested in a general topic of search.

3. Hybrid search engines

• Hybrid search engines are search engines that use both crawler based searches and
directory searches to obtain their results .
• example:- yahoo.com and google.com

4. Meta search engines

These transmit user-supplied keywords simultaneously to several individual search

engines to actually carry out the search. • search results returned from all the search engines
can be integrated, duplicates can be eliminated and additional features such as clustering by
subjects within the search results can be implemented by meta-search engines.

EXAMPLE: DOGPILE, METACRAWLER

Dogpile - it is a search engine that fetches results from Google, Yahoo! and
includes results from several other popular search engines. Dogpile began operation in
November 1996. The site was created and developed by Aaron Flin and later sold to Go2net .
