What Is A Search Engine?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A search engine is a tool, created in the 1990's, for finding data from a computer. It could be described as an electronic index or database enabling users to discover many sources offering answers to their queries. The user typically enters a word, phrase or question into the specified zone and within moments the search engine will provide, usually in their thousands, websites or web-pages, which contain any information relating to that subject.
    While they can be invaluable to general research, regular users will know that it can be a very time consuming task to sift through all the offered sites until ones with relevant information are found.  It can be useful to carry out an advanced search where by more detail can be put into the search bar before information is retrieved.
    It has valuable learning properties as there is information on any subject that can be imagined, though parents should be made aware of the easy accessibility of subjects of a sexual or violent nature.
