During my class, my lecturer asked us which search engine that we usually use. Majority of us said that we prefer to use Google rather than Mozilla Firefox, Yahoo, Bing and others. In my opinion, I use Google because Google is much more simple, easy and user friendly. I strongly agree that Google is faster compared to other Search Engines.

With the advance of technology, information can becomes easily accessed through the usage of Search Engines such as Google,Yahoo and Bing. Based from my understanding, Search Engines is like a library with full of books, information, knowledge and everything that you want to know just by typing the keywords. Basically, Search Engines is a web tool that allows users to enter keywords and find information on websites contained in its database.
There are four parts of Search Engines: Database to store reference to webpages, web-crawlers to find and compile indexes of Web Pages, user interface and Information Retrieval System.
Other than, I have learned that there are Specialized Search Engines for a specific area. These are the examples of Specialized Search Engines such as art cyclopedia, google scholar, education world and pipl.com. This is because the database in this Search Engines only stores webpage relevant to specific field. During my class, my lecturer had asked us to search on these several web page. Here are the web pages and what it can do:
1. Pipl.com = To search for specific people.
2. Google Scholar = Related to an academic writing.
3. IR system = Use to get back the information.
In addition, I have learned that I could use Meta Search Engine to get more search results. I have tried these and I believe that these are quite interesting and totally new for all of you. Let's give a try, shall we?
Examples of Meta Search Engine are:
MetaCrawler
SavvySearch
Dogpile
Types And Stages Of Web
1. Surface Web
2. Deep Web
3. Dark Web
Based from what I have learned, Surface Web involves the information that we usually can find through Google, Yahoo and Wikipedia. In Deep Web, the information needs to be log in. This web requires us to have a specific username, password and registration in order to access this web. Meanwhile, Dark Web is accessible only through certain browsers. For example like Tor, to ensure anonymity. This is like when you have an access to any private information and illegal information.
