Search Engine Alternatives To Google

Postby rajiv123 » Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:27 am

A search engine works a lot more behind the scenes than on your screen. In the few seconds it takes your engine to find and present sites for your perusal it actually only goes as far as its index. Search engines actually are constantly updating their indexes, at all times they are sending out small programs that update their resources. These small programs, called bots or spiders, look for key words, concentration of information and also for how many sites connect to the site they are currently checking. They also assess the validity of the connections and their reliability. For example, if a site is referenced by a University, it will rank higher than one referred to by a personal website.

One of the ways that people try and defeat search engine’s reliability is by keyword saturation. Designers of websites will repeat the keyword so often that it will cause a search engine to pull up their site more frequently. The result is that you can end up with poor web sites that are repetitive, dull and uninformative, but ready to sell you all sorts of things you never needed. While search engines are being designed more cleverly in response, there is always a learning curve while the engines catch up. For this reason alone it makes sense to check out Alternative Search Engines to Google. New and updated search engines may have at least a temporary advantage in the area of your search.

Search engine alternatives can also provide you with different sites to view. For example, when searching for a list of presidents, Google pulls up a private page while Alta Vista goes to wikipedia.com first. The order of sites is determined by slightly different factors, but each search engine pulls up sites using their own internally generated criteria. That is what makes it worth while to search with more than one engine if you aren’t finding what you desire. Since software is proprietary, there will always be some small differences, and those differences can be critical to your search.
