Understanding Search Engines - There are a lot of names and terms associated with the
internet, the web, browsers, and search engines. Sorting them out can be confusing! Check this
out and read each carefully for better understanding.
People often use the words "the internet" and "the web" interchangeably. Is there a difference?
The World Wide Web is just one part of the internet. The internet also includes e-mail, instant
messaging, multiplayer gaming, and FTP (peer-to-peer file sharing).
What is a Browser?
What is a Web Address? A web address is the identifying address for a file, or webpage, on the
internet. Typing a web address into the browser bar, or address bar, allows you to access this file
on the internet. Another word for "web address" is URL.
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, Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.
When you use a search engine, you only have access to the visible web -- the part of the web
your search engine has indexed. The entire web is much larger than any one search engine's
index. It is estimated that the deep web is over 500 times the size of the visible web! The deep
web includes webpages that are not linked to by other pages, passwordprotected sites, and
private databases (such as library catalogs).
Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be used.
Search is always case insensitive. A search for [new york times] is the same as search for
[New York Times].
Generally, punctuation is ignored, including @#$%^&*() = +[ ]\ and other special
characters
