For information on search engines, I went to a couple of search engines
web pages. The
first gave me information on Multiple search engines. And example of
a Multiple search engine would be Magellan. Magellan is one of more than
4oo different search engines, anf they cover general as well specific
subjects. According to this information page, Magellan is not entirely
comprehensive. Magellan, compared to other multi-search engines, is
rather fast in completing search work. Magellan can save the time and
trouble of going to different site to run a search. It can also suggest
a search engine that you may not have neard about.
According to the WWW Search
Engines page, yahoo is a
hierarchial menu system with a simple search feature. The web pages are
catergorized by subjects and if there is more than one subject that a
certain page covers, then this page will be listed under those subjects.
On the same WWW Search
Engines page, we find information about yet another search engine.
Lycos is a search engine that is
maintain by Internet robots. It is equipped with a program that searhces
through the Internet and indexes its findings. The language of lycos is rather sophisticated which
allows exact phrases when searching.
