Search Engine
In the previous lesson, we defined a search engine as an internet software which
helps people search or find information from millions of web pages on the internet.
Some of the famous search engines utilized here in the Philippines are Google,
Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Ask, MSN, and Live Search.
Some of the famous search engines utilized here in the Philippines are Google,
Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Ask, MSN, and Live Search.
To do a search, a user must navigate the search engine in the web browser. Type a
word or keywords of information you are looking for which is also called as search
terms, then click search or press enter on the keyboard.

After running a search, a list of websites that matches your search which is called
search result appears. You can choose from the list of websites where you would
like to visit to access the information you are finding.
How does a search engine work?

Search engine works through the following:

Web Crawler – It is also known as a spider. It is a program used by a browser to visit
websites and reads their pages and other information in order to create entries for
a search engine index. When the crawler is building the list, that process is called
web crawling.
Index/Indexing – This software analyzes the copy of web pages the crawler found or
built. Indexing is organizing information before a search to enable super-fast
responses to queries.
Search/Searching – The process of finding through an index where users input their
query through words or keywords, and the search engine returns the result.

1. Using a hyphen to exclude a word from searching- For example, you are
searching for plants and you do not want to include medicinal. At the beginning of
the word put a hyphen like plants –medicinal
2. Placing quotation marks (" ") around the desired search terms will narrow down
the search: for example, plants “flowering”
3. In searching for Specific Content, most search engines have options or menus for
unique searches.
.

If searching for an image of plants “flowering”, you can even narrow down the
search by using search tools. Filter your images by size, color, image type, and more.

The Anatomy of Uniform Resource Locator

 In the previous lesson, it is defined as the exact location of a document or
file on the internet or simply the web address. It is important to be familiar about the
URL sections, since searching can be done not only through the search box on the
search engine but through the address bar as well.

Protocol/Scheme – (https) It determines how data are transferred between the host
and a web browser. It is a type of web address, so the browser connects to it
correctly.
Domain name – (britannica.com) is the registered identification “string” (or
word/phrase) used by the Domain Name System to define a specific area of control
and website
Sub Domain – It is the portion of a URL that comes before the “main” domain name
and the domain extension. In www.britannica.com, www is the sub domain.
Top Level Domain – It is one of the domains at the highest level of the Domain Name
System hierarchy. Examples are .com(commercial), .net(network),
.org(organization), .edu(education), .gov(government), mil(military),
.ph(Philippines), .ca(California), .uk(United Kingdom)
Path / File Path- Refers to the exact location of a page, post, or file.
