It also lists criteria for evaluating websites such as accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage.
Internet Search
This presentation was written for use in a face-to-face environment for the Career Skills Program of Yavapai College.
Information Literacy
This document provides a four step strategy for evaluating information found online:
1. Read the URL to examine the domain name and extension for clues about reliability and purpose.
2. Examine the site's content to determine usefulness, resources, currency, and accuracy.
3. Use tools like the Wayback Machine and Whois to investigate the history and ownership of the website.
4. Analyze external and forward links to understand bias and what other sites say about the information.
Search engines & effective searching on the web
Search engines find information on the internet by using spiders or robots to crawl the web and index pages containing keywords, unlike databases which contain reviewed information from published sources. To perform an effective search, identify keywords and use Boolean operators like AND to narrow results, OR to expand them, and NOT to exclude terms. Phrase searching and title searching can help find specific phrases or pages containing the search terms in the title. Search engines generally interpret capitalization and plurals the same. Advanced operators allow limiting searches to specific sites, linked pages, or getting more site information. However, information online may be inaccurate or biased, so results should be evaluated carefully.
Search engine
Search engines are databases that contain references to thousands of web pages and help users locate information on the web. They use software components like web crawlers to index web pages and a search interface to return relevant results. The search engine looks up keywords in its index rather than searching the live web. It uses software to search the index and returns relevant pages with snippets. The results are ranked based on factors like keyword frequency and link analysis. Advanced search options allow refining results through Boolean operators and other criteria.
Search engine
Search engines work by using web crawlers to retrieve web pages, analyze their contents, index important information, and provide search results in response to user queries. The first search engine was Archie, created in 1990, while Google rose to prominence around 2000 using its innovative PageRank algorithm. Today's major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing use complex algorithms and techniques like web crawlers, boolean operators, proximity searching and natural language queries to efficiently index the web and return relevant results. They generate revenue through advertising shown alongside search results.
Google Search Engine
Google began in 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It uses PageRank, an algorithm that assigns websites a numerical weight based on the number and quality of links to it, to index websites and determine search results. When a user searches on Google, it examines its index of websites and returns the most relevant results based on the user's search terms and PageRank. Google crawls the web with its bots to constantly update and improve its index of websites to provide the most useful search results to users.
Searching The Internet
Basic overview of searching the interent, including safety issues and being aware of the author of the site you are looking at.
E-LEARN: Internet evaluation
Some very valuable information is available on the Internet. However, you have the responsibility for evaluating each site you use.
Search Engines
The document provides an overview of search engines, including their basics, functioning, types, advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. It defines a search engine as a tool that indexes websites and builds databases to help retrieve information from the internet based on keyword queries. The document discusses different types of search engines such as general, meta, subject-specific, intelligent/specialized, deep/invisible web, and scholarly literature search engines. It also compares search engines to directories and portals.
How search engine works
A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide. It works by sending out a Spider to fetch as many documents as possible. Another program, called an indexer, then reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document. Each search engine uses a proprietary algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally, only meaningful results are returned for each query.
Search engines and its types
The document discusses search engines, including how they work, their importance, and different types. It explains that search engines use crawlers to scan websites, extract keywords, and build databases. When users search, the engine returns relevant pages. Directories rely on human editors while hybrid engines use both crawlers and directories. Meta search engines transmit keywords to multiple engines and integrate results. Making effective searches involves keeping queries simple and considering how target pages may be described.
