Article Subject: 6a. The rudiments of a search engine

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

«« Previous

We discussed using a good computer and a browser for the task at hand and they will be your gateway to connect to the internet (the window of the world). I should really define search engines as the window to the world.

The power of the search engines come from having visited every corner of the globe (internet) crawling for information on websites, blogs, news archives to get every snippet of information that maybe useful to their end user. We have all become so accustomed to the search engines today that we take it for granted and it is the most powerful ‘encyclopedia’ to all things useful and valuable to us.

Remember search engines are still fallible, just like when you read about the ‘content farms’ that are usurping much traffic by tricking search engines into having ‘real’ content lifted from other websites. Google’s search engines like other search engines such as Bing and Yahoo are continuously evolving to stay not only competitive in this market but also positioning themselves as indispensable to many of their users. It is no wonder that Google is the number one most recognized brand in other countries such as England and a few other nations.

Next part of the series we will look more under the ‘hood’ of the google search engine.
