Assignment 9 – Search engines

I enjoyed all the three readings, especially from Badke. Everybody does searching every now and then and gets more than necessary information (both relevant and irrelevant). Sometimes, even I searched by typing long sentences and got too much of data. But, now after reading chapter 3, I can say that, I can search more efficiently and narrow down my search by just using “OR”, “AND” and “NOT”. The search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, invest plenty of money to make their searching worthy. Websites also pay these search engines so that when people search for information, their site will show up in the top ten searches. This is one way, these search engines make money. Popularity of a site is also an important factor; like how many people are logging on or surfing the site as daily routine. Search engines really work hard to make searching easy.
