Welcome to all visitors! If you wish to seek information about search engines, then you did a right job by visiting this blog. Here we will get you to know on how to use search engines efficiently. Search engines will become your choice in preference to library books in getting quick information.

Firstly, it’s better for you to know what the search engine is. A search engine is a program designed to help us find files stored on a computer, for example a public server on the World Wide Web, or one's own computer. The search engine allows one to ask for media content meeting specific criteria (typically those containing a given word or phrase) and retrieving a list of files that match those criteria (wordIQ.com). The search results are usually presented in a list of results and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

I believe that you have your most preferred search engine whenever you surf internet. For example, Yahoo, msn and Google are among the most popular ones. But do you know that there are too many search engines exist in internet? There are search engines like Lycos, Hotbot, Bing and Ask.com that you can use. Besides, some search engines are also classified into a few categories; multi-threaded search engines and subject-specific search engines. Some classified search engines are listed below.
