Search Engines and Related Tools
By Melody Smith|January 14th, 20132013-01-13T23:21:40-05:00
A search engine is different from search software. The terms are used interchangeably by people, but they are not the same. Search software is an application – a bunch of codes – and a search engine is a collection of servers with a lot of data on it that is indexing the Internet and delivering it by HTML pages to customers. It is doing that by spidering around to get the information, usually from those metaname headers, and now increasingly from full text and putting that information up and comparing it, searching it. You all have some idea of how Google, Lycos, Bing, and all those other ones work, so you know what happens here. Again, a search engine is different from search software.
