I had learned how to use different kinds of engines in uir lab.. and it is fun learning it because we can have a wider research by using the boolean operators.
Ms faridah had showed us how we can make use of the boolean operators and had a wide range of results and determine which engine is the better choice and what differences they have between the search engines.
Now, i will be showing some screen shots about the search engine and summarize it...
Yahoo search engine

search engine will find many possible results from the keywords and display out.
The results will display as long as there is the keyword in the sentence it will also display out.
There are millions of hits and the time it use is very little because it is auto generated.
The database will capture the word and display all possible information they had in the system and that is why there are millions of hits displayed less than 1 seconds.

Meta Crawler


Meta Crawler has information gathered from different search engine like Yahoo, Google, Ask, Altavista, windows live. It is good to have search results from many search engine but the information seems to be about the same information as the results is much more lesser than the Yahoo search engine.
Yahoo directory


Yahoo directory is manually done by professionals and it takes a longer time to search for the information. Some of the information may not found in the directory as we could not expect much information from the professionals. They could not possibly put all information in there.

It is good to show subjects by subjects so that it is more clear of our findings.
Yahoo Advanced Search

Advanced search allows the user to search easily by selecting what kind of search they want.
E.g. They can choose to type any of the word or all of the words to find the information.
There are different types of language for the user to select to meet their requirements and
it is more user friendly. User can choose to see the latest update information by selecting it.
After searching it, it will display the result page and the search textbox will automatic fill in the boolean operators for the user.
Overall, i think that Advanced Search engine is the best way to search relevant information. =D
