4. 4 Effective Search Tools Search Engines What�s available? Why use one over another? Keywords How do search engines identify keywords? What�s the best way to pick a keyword?

5. 5 Search Engines�just to name a few Googlehttp://www.google.com Yahoohttp://www.yahoo.com Microsoft Live Searchhttp://www.live.com/ Ask.com(formerly Ask Jeeves)http://www.ask.com Dogpile http://www.dogpile.com/info.dogpl/search/index.htm Most search engines require sites to pay a fee to be on special listings or directories, although most, if not all, also provide search results based on the relevancy of the topic. Google: known for the wide range of features it offers (being able to search more than just a web page), such as cached links that let you "resurrect" dead pages or see older versions of recently changed ones. Yahoo: Launched in 1994, Yahoo is the Web's oldest "directory," a place where human editors organize web sites into categories. However, in October 2002, Yahoo made a giant shift to crawler-based listings for its main results. These came from Google until February 2004. Now, Yahoo uses its own search technology. Microsoft Live Search: Microsoft Live (formerly MSN Search) was originally powered by LookSmart, which gained top marks for having its own team of editors that monitored the most popular searches being performed to hand-pick sites believed to be the most relevant. Subsequently, MSN Search used Yahoo listings to power its database for a while. Recently, Microsoft started using its own crawler-based technology and changed its name from MSN Search to Microsoft Live Search. Ask.com: Ask (formerly Ask Jeeves) initially gained fame in 1998 and 1999 as the "natural language" search engine that lets you search by asking questions and responding with the right answer. In reality, technology wasn't what made Ask perform so well. Behind the scenes, the company at one point had about 100 editors who monitored search logs. They then went out onto the web and located what seemed to be the best sites to match the most popular queries. Dogpile: Why not put six search engines to work on something in the same time it takes to use one? This is what we call metasearch. Dogpile puts the power all the leading search engines together in one search box to deliver the best combined results. The process is more efficient and yields more relevant results.

6. 6 Keywords How do search engines use them? Coming up with the keyword that will give you what you want Search engines work on two types of technologies�directories and crawlers. Use of directories was the most common technology available at first, and are pretty much as you�d think�a site submits a short description of their site to the search engine, or editors employed by search engines write a summary of what�s available. It�s from this short description that matches are made and choices are displayed. Crawler technology is now becoming most popular and is basically an automated search tool that gathers information from across the web without human intervention. Some companies use a combination directories and crawlers. Keywords: First�think of the most unique word that describes what you�re looking for. Search�did you find what you wanted? No? Check your spelling�or try mis-spelling�you�d be amazed�I�ve heard of this being especially effective in snagging bargains on eBay�Search engines work on two types of technologies�directories and crawlers.
