Do you know or have heard of : lycos, blekko, dogpile,
duck duckgo, yippy, mahalo….. don’t make
a google search…. These are some of the search engines…….. A web
search engine is software code that is designed to search for information on
the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a line of
results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERP's).
‘Google’ is the most popular one…. It has now become a
figure of speech to ‘google’ something – which actually is searching for
something through ‘google’s search engine’. The web search engine one of the most popular
and most used ones, is owned by Google Inc. Millions utilize this service daily and almost
every time they reach out to the web. The
order of search results on Google's search-results pages is based, in part, on
a priority rank called a "PageRank". The main purpose of Google
Search is to hunt for text in publicly accessible documents offered by web
servers (in formats such as HTML, PDF, etc.). Google Search was originally
developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1997. There are some specialized searched including
"Search by Image" feature.
Another equally popular internet resource is ‘Wikipedia’ ~ unique because it is a collaboratively
edited, multilingual, free Internet encyclopedia supported by the non-profit
Wikimedia Foundation. Its 25 million articles, over 4.1 million in the English
Wikipedia alone, are written collaboratively by volunteers around the world.
Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site. Wikipedia
was launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Understand
that ‘wiki’ means quick in Hawaiian language.
Many of us [including Yours Truly] take the Wiki articles
as the base for their search purpose as it is comprehensive and easy to access.
So far, so good………… sadly, the open nature
of Wikipedia has led to various concerns, such as the quality of writing, the
amount of vandalism and the accuracy of information. Some articles contain
unverified or inconsistent information. Here
is what vandals can do…. [it was fixed somewhat immediately too]
Sure, you have heard of Jaddu ~ Ravindra Jadeja, who has
been tormenting Michael Clarke with his spin. He has had him 5 times this series. Jadeja once considered good only for T20,
made his ODI debut in Lanka in Feb 2009 and now has been performing well as a
spinner in the present series. Remember
that he was bought for crores of ruppes by CSK.
People were in for a shock when they searched for Jadeja
in Wikipedia today……. It read…. Jadeja is a Nobel winner, philanthropist,
double Laureus winner and was knighted….
A google search on ‘sampspeak.in’ threw out 5930 results
in 0.27 seconds, making Yours Truly happy.

www.SeekFreak.com is a powerful dual searcher (search 2 search engines at once and switching between 200 engines). Many "easter eggs" (tools, advanced settings) for customizing favelets, bookmarklets, searches and how it works. Down through the middle you will find a handy search bar/frame with the top 200 search sites on the internet ready to go (also add your own).
