Internet Search Engines: An Introduction

B.Ravi Kumar Jain (Author)

Synopsis The Internet or the www houses millions of web sites, billions of web pages and tons of data and is growing exponentially. Apparently, it is almost impossible to lay one s hands on the right information one is looking for in this ocean of information, unless one knows the exact URL. This condition renders the power of the Internet limited only to the individual s memory. This is where the role of a search engine becomes meaningful. A search engine or search service is a program designed to extract/find web pages or information stored on the www. Search engines facilitate easy access to the desired information on the Internet or a corporate database or a personal computer. The strength and the usefulness of a search engine depends on the relevance of the result it produces for a given query and the way such results are presented. There are several search engines available on the Internet but all are not equally efficient.
