What is a Search Engine?
Answer
A search engine is a service that utilizes a computer program to search the Internet and identify items that match the characters and keywords entered by a user. Search engines are useful for finding information on organizations, groups, and personal web pages related to a topic. They can also be used for finding articles, but it can be difficult to narrow down results, find relevant material, and assess the legitimacy of information found on the Internet. It is especially important to be wary when using Internet sources, as there is are no quality control mechanisms that varify the validity of information on individual web pages. Examples of search engines include Google, Yahoo, and Dogpile.
