 Importance of Search Engine
Search engines are important because with over 8 billion web pages
available.
It would be impossible to search for the information that is specifically
needed.
This is why search engines are used to filter the information that is on
the internet
and transform it into results that each individual can easily access and use
within the matter of seconds
 Types of Search Engine
•There are three main types of tools:

•Crawler based search engines

•Search directories or indexes Hybrid 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.
Google and Yahoo are examples of crawler search engines.

Crawler-based search engines are good when you have a specific

search topic.
Google was founded by Larry Page and Yahoo was founded by David Filo and
Sergey Brin. Jerry Yang

Launched in 1998 Launched in 1994

 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

Hybrid search engines are search engines that use

both crawler based searches and directory searches
