ONLINE SEARCH ENGINES
While the library is usually the primary go-to place for students
when they are in need of information or data from specific
resources, technology has deeply changed the way we perceive
library work and research from using electronic resources like

DIVISION OF CAVITE
Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) to accessing a wide array of

online libraries from all over the world through the mechanism of
online search engines.
The World Wide Web or the Internet contains truckloads of

information. This is why searching for a specific information in this
huge pool of knowledge can both be tiring and intimidating. The
primary key to navigating the Internet successfully and with ease is
actually knowing where to start. This is where the roles of a
search engine come into play.
An online search engine is actually a program that searches for

words or phrases in documents, most often in articles, web pages,
and published materials in the Internet. It is similar to a library in
an online setting as it gives you access to millions of domain
names that store vast amounts of information.
There are three (3) common types of search engines one may use.
These are
general search engines, metasearch engines and specific search
engines.

DIVISION OF CAVITE
General search engines refer to wide-ranging search engines

capable of searching millions upon millions of sites for specific
information. These include the likes of MSN, Ask.com, Yahoo!
and Google.
A metasearch engine, on the other hand, works by actually using

other search engines to find the needed information. It works the
same way when you use a website to help find the best deals on a
particular product or say, flight booking for your trip. Popular
examples of this type include Blingo, Dogpile and Metacrawler.
Finally, a specific search engine, as the name implies, is a much

smaller and more specific type and is designed more specifically
8:00- for certain users’ needs. A good example for this type is a
9:00 periodical database on culture, history, politics, and government
which are usually accessed for research purposes. While specific
search engines can usually be accessed for free as in the case of
academic databases in libraries, most would require user
enrolment or subscription to allow unlimited access. Some
examples under this type are Academic Search, JSTOR and

DIVISION OF CAVITE
LexisNexis.
Regardless of what type of search engine you decide to use, you

will always find a vast selection of resources. Most users would
usually prefer using one search engine before all others, and you
might decide to just do the same.
It is essential, however, to note that in order for you to maximize

the efficiency of your use of search engines, there are strategies
that may be used to help you find the most relevant results. These
also save time and ensure that you only get the data that you
actually need.
These strategies include knowing the proper keywords to be used

in the search. Addition of keys that can prompt the search engine
helps in limiting search results.
Learning Task 3: Using the knowledge you have gained about
