(2) The Internet has become a labyrinth of hard - to - find data and dead - end home pages replete with redundant, often useless information. If you answered "true" to both, you're right - even though the two answers seem to contradict each other. While the Net is a labyrinth with dead ends and lots of junk, software tools are available to bypass the useless and deliver the essential information you're looking for. All this can be done with a few mouse clicks ; the trick is to know what to click on. Search tools (also known as search engines) are available free on the Net, and this article helps you pick the right one for your particular research. All search tools are linked to databases that essentially are giant indexes of much of the information available on the Net. Accessing such indexes is easy : Just click on the Web site of the search tool ; there is no software to download or configure. While most Internet providers usually default to one search tool when you evoke a search, you can always change that default to any other search engine. And if you want to locate other search tools, just type "search tool" as your key words in whatever engine your software defaults to and it will find the others. Two ingredients go into making a good search engine : a large, up - to - date and comprehensive index and a database search method that is fast, customizable and designed so it doesn't bring up too many sites not relevant to your search. Be aware, however, that no search engine is perfect : Nearly every search will generate some irrelevant data, but the better engines are more discriminating. As you can imagine, indexing is a herculean task : thousands upon thousands of addresses (also called URL s, pronounced either U - R - L s or earls) plus millions of pages of data must be scanned, formatted and incorporated into the database index. With rare exceptions, the job is done exclusively by computer ; as a result, sometimes mistakes are made and words are indexed incorrectly. But considering the millions of words involved, all the search tools generally do the job relatively well. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
