Which search engines do you use most often to locate
information on the internet? Why do you use these particular
search engines? Let's get some search tool practice. Using a
search engine of your choice, locate at least three web resources
that offer assistance in writing a resume. Share with the class
the links to the sites you found and describe the services offered
and features of each site. Which site do you think is the best for
your needs?
Solution
Answer:
There are many search engines like InfoSeek, Yahoo, Excite,
HotBot, AltaVista, Lycos and LookSmart,bingo.
Many of the major search engines are also becoming known as
"Internet Portals" because they provide a number
of popular services for the frequent internet user.
Search engines on the World eide web are remotely accessible
programs that let you do keyword searches for information on
the internet.
There are several types of search engines and searches may
cover titles of documents, URL's, headers, or full
text. In fact, they are often different due to the way each search
engine behaves. Therefore, it may actually be
beneficial to use more than one search engine on a regular
basis.
GOOGLE:
Google Instant is a search enhancement that shows results as
you type. It is designed to predict a person's
search by updating the page and showing results while you
type.It is a time-saving feature.
Because the page is changing as you type this can sometimes
cause problems for screen reader users. You may
find a link on the page that reads "Screen reader users, click
here to turn off Google Instant."
If you choose this link it makes your searches using a screen
reader much easier.Google also provides easy-to-use search
tools.
E.G:Weather Chicago,25 kilometers in miles:it converts
kilometers to miles,seafood restaurants etc..
YAHOO:
Yahoo is another search engine that many people use. The main
Yahoo! page also has more information on it,
such as sports and news headlines, entertainment links, and
links to many other items.
This tends to cause the page to appear more cluttered than the
Google site, but may prove itself useful to you as
well.
One drawback to searching on Yahoo is it will often bring up
unsignificant webpages related to your topic, such as
personal homepages or outdated websites in addition to the
more serious or commercial website(s) on your topic.
INFOSEEK:
Infoseek is is one of the best search engines for finding
information In addition to searching the Web, InfoSeek
provides guides to popular subjects which contain links to
recommended sites.
Each main topic in the guide is broken down further into
subtopics, which contain links to more websites.ach topic
will bring up a list of popular websites for that topic, which can
be useful in getting you to a related site for your
subject area very quickly.
When running a search on InfoSeek there are a couple things
you can do to enhance your results. First, you can
search within the given results to further limit the information
returned by the search. Simply enter an additional
keyword or keywords and click on the "search within these
results" box. InfoSeek also groups all of your results
that occur in the same website.
