TYPES OF SEARCH ENGINES

Four main types:

 Crawler based search engines

 Search directories or indexes

 Hybrid search engines

 Meta search engines

CRAWLER BASED SEARCH ENGINES:

 These types of 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.
 Examples: Google and Yahoo
GOOGLE:

 Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

 Google has various “special features” which include

weather, unit conversion, currency conversion, time ,
calculator, maps etc.
YAHOO

 Yahoo operates a portal that provides the latest

news, entertainment, and sports information.

services like

 Yahoo Messenger.
 DIRECTORIES

 Directories depend on human editors to

create their listings or the database. Yahoo

few examples.

 Human-powered directories are good when

you are interested in a general topic of
search.
HYBRID SEARCH ENGINES

 Hybrid search engines are search

engines that use both crawler based
searches and directory searches to
obtain their results.
META SEARCH ENGINE

include a particular word or phrase, some

pages may be more relevant, popular or
authoritative than others.
