 Importance of Search Engines
Search engines are important because with over
8 billion of web pages available, it would be
impossible to search for the information that is
specifically needed. That is why search engines are
used to filter the information that is on the Internet
and transform it into results that each individual
can access and use within a matter of seconds.

conversion, time, calculator maps, etc.

Finance, Yahoo Groups, and Yahoo
Messenger.

both crawler-based searches and
directory searches to obtain results.

information available in the World Wide Web. It

once.
