How do search engines rank the stuff they find on the internet?
Search engines generally sift through all the millions of webpages looking to present you with those that match you topic. However they can sometimes get it wrong and pages unrelated can slip through into your results. This only means a little more time in finding what you looking for.
Who, or what, makes one page (that you might get in your search results) more useful than another one, so that it is put at the top of your search results?
sometimes the words you search, the order and any hyphens or speach marks can add to the preciseness of your search. If you type in several specific words your results will come up in order of those most usefull. The most usefull being those documents that contain all the words or phrases in your search.
What are some of your favourite search engines? why do you like one more than others?
I generally stuck to only using google as my search engine because i was previously not exposed to any other search engines that i could trust. As a result of this weeks task where we were given several different trusted search engines i hope i can extend my internet browsing with the use of those new search engines.
