evolution of search engines: past, present, future
Origin and Evolution
The history and evolution of search engines can be divided into distinct periods. The first period begins from the development of Archie, which was a search engine program launched in 1990 by a group of university students. The Archie program worked by scanning files on scattered servers connected to the Internet and retrieving them for users using FTP protocol. A few years later, Veronica and Jughead search engines were launched that could search and retrieve documents using the Gopher protocol. An important breakthrough took place with the launch of the first robot search tool, the Wanderer. This was the precursor to the modern day web crawlers and worked by scanning the World Wide Web and indexing data from servers as well as ULS on a database. However, it was quite inefficient and required a lot of…...

This paper discusses the web search engines market, and will aim to analyze the main players in this industry, how they compete and what their market share is. The paper will also briefly look into the history of web search engines and will investigate some of the public policies that affect the firms that operate in this industry.
The web search engines appeared in the early 1990s, as the Internet began to grow and more and more pages, on different topics, became available for the users. Up to 1993, however, there was no web search engine in existence, most of the information on the Internet was stocked in catalogues, but there was no electronic indexing of these catalogues and these could only be consulted manually.…...

I was shocked to watch the TED talk by Eli Pariser on “filter bubbles.” I did not know that two people could search for the same term and receive completely different results. After watching this video, I will become more aware of how the information on the Internet is being filtered for me by digital gatekeeprs, algorithms that determine what I can and cannot see. Pariser (2011) calls them the “invisible algorithmic filters” that are in social media and on search engines. I appreciate that Pariser (2011) uses the TED forum to call directly upon those who are in control of these algorithms, asking them to take greater responsibility. The Internet is supposed to represent the ultimate freedom of information. Filter bubbles contradict that ideal. Coders and the senior managers of all technology companies do have a responsibility to give back the power of information to the people. The only potentially…...

Its success might be called an 'anti-marketing' campaign given that it was done without careful marketing segmentation -- it was marketed to all consumers, with a unified image. Although it does not fit the conventional definitions of either service or product design, and in many ways seems to exist in undefined virtual space, it still possesses a loyal core of users.
The goal of every branding campaign, Taylor suggests, is to create a clear brand image. The simpler the object, like a soda, a hamburger, or a search engine, and the greater the number of competitors or substitutes, the clearer a product's image must be in the mind of the consumer. Clutter and added amenities do not necessarily add to the perceived, unique value of the product. Make sure that the product delivers on its promises. Because Google has done all of these things, it is hard to imagine a…...
The Google Scholar search engine appears more comprehensive in scope relative to ProQuest as well. This is attributable to the greater number of courses Google indexes from an academic standpoint to gain this data. While ProQuest does not have as much content accessible using Boolean search parameters as Google Scholar, of the documents it indexes, a higher percentage of them are accessible. There is also a greater level of flexibility in how citations are downloaded on ProQuest relative to Google Scholar. Support for APA, AMA, Turabian, and Harvard formats is available on ProQuest for example and not available on Google Scholar. This can be a significant time saving feature when larger papers are being researched.
When a Boolean search was completed using the Google U.S. Government Search, 58,200 documents were found, and like Google Scholar, when the exact search term "Tenured faculty & Post-tenure review models" was used, no matches…...

Written Assignment: Case study1. Why is important that businesses maintain a high level of visibility on SEPs?Maintaining high visibility on SEPs increases a businesss visibility on search engines, translating to increased website traffic. With high visibility, more people will see the businesss content in search results and interact with the content by visiting the business website. A company that maintains high visibility on SEPs indicates that the business is credible, and more people will trust the business (Schulthei & Lewandowski, 2021). When a business appears on the first page of SEPs, visitors will subconsciously trust the business, assuming the business must be doing something right to have such a high ranking. Visitors are more likely to make a purchase or recommend the company to others, increasing the businesss organic traffic. Domain authority is another benefit the business will get from high visibility on SEPs. Having a high domain authority leads…...

Electronic and Hybrid Engines Be Used Instead of the Petrol Engines
Hybrid engines and electric and other forms of fuel are being tried the world over on account of multiple problems. It is not only for vehicles but also for the industries that use fossil fuels and chemicals for manufacture. The primary problem is the pollution of the air, water and the entire planet on account of fossil fuel use. Not all fossil fuel forms are harmful. For example CNG, compressed natural gas is less harmful. The use of fossil fuel has deadly repercussions on human, animal and plant health. In other words all life on the planet can be at jeopardy. The shocking truth is revealed as follows: John Vidal of the Guardian reported that millions die in Asia on account of vehicle pollution. According to the report he quoted, issued by a consortium of universities working in conjunction…...

Content Creators
There are several people who might fall into the class of people who create intellectual property. First, there are creatives, for example writers, visual artists, or even project managers such as directors or the team who write code for software. All of these are actively involved in the creative process. When they are doing as employees or contractors of a company, then typically the rights flow to the company, as the financier of the project. But someone creating on their own should have full right to distribute as they please, whether or not this involves active digital rights management. There are examples of star acts that have sought to exert greater control over their work, using digital distribution models to bypass record companies. This is an example of a content creator exerting their natural control over how they distribute and control their work (Clemons, Gu,…...
Ethics and Promoting Your Site
Ethical esearch
Search Engine Optimization -- SEO techniques is the methodology of making a website and its content more relevant for search engines and eventually for the user community who search them through 'keywords' and 'phrases' for getting appropriate results. The entire process includes making strategies to enhance web pages so that they are able to gain a higher ranking in actual search engine results. The ideal scenario is the particular enterprise's website to get listed on the first page of search engine results when the targeted keywords and phrases are searched and for this the enterprise's website needs to be optimised for these terms. (Majchrzak, 2008)

GOOGLE vs. BING
Google v. Bing
Google vs. Microsoft (Bing): Search engine wars
Google is not simply a search engine company: it is synonymous with searching the web much like Coca-Cola is synonymous with soda. However, the software giant Microsoft is attempting to outflank Google by introducing a rival search engine called Bing. Microsoft has floundered in the past when it has moved outside of its software 'comfort zone.' Despite becoming an incredibly successful company thanks to Microsoft Windows, it has failed to unseat Apple as the industry leader in the all-important music, smartphone, and tablet markets. Microsoft is desperately seeking to diversify its assets, given that PCs may soon become obsolete, due to the explosion of mobile computing. Google is its primary competitor in the search engine market.

PDF to the phrase Tenured & Post-tenure review models yielded an entire page of links to PDFs on the subject. This is especially useful when doing research. A limitation of Bing in this area however is the lack of citation support provided however that is found in EBSCO Host or ProQuest, two excellent academic databases. In conclusion, the iterative nature of Bing is very effective in targeting content of interest and the use of specific operands or qualifiers including .PDF work well. The only limitation however is the amount of content indexed at this point by the search engine.
The site Search.yahoo.com was also evaluated using the search term Tenured & Post-tenure review models both in exact phrasing and also in Boolean search. This search engine provides an estimated time for the search to be completed which for this specific phrase when configured as a Boolean search, took .49ms. Just for…...

One mechanism under development includes prompts for users to provide basic information about themselves such as age, geographic location, and general interests.
This purpose of this feature is two-fold: (1) it is intended to augment the primary search functions by triggering additional searches associated with websites and databases particularly relevant to the descriptive information entered by the user; and (2) it will be used to coordinate page presentations most consistent with the user's age, location, and interests.
