Search engines & Database

Wazzaapppppppp readers. Previous posts talk about CALL. So now enough with CALL, let's move on to another topic which is search engines. As some of you may know, there are hundreds of search engines and the most popular is Google (obviously, you don't say "let's Yahoo it", you'd say "Let's Google it"). There are 4 parts of search engines which are Database, Web Crawlers, User interface and Information Retrieval System. Database is where all the indexed webpages are stored. Web Crawlers is the one that "crawls" for keywords. User Interface is the app or page or the site itself. Basically it is the homepage of a search engine. Lastly is the Information Retrieval System, which is the system that is used to find the user's query to indexed webpages.

There are specialized search engines which are Google Scholar, Education World, etc. One of the things that really had my attention was the "Dark Web". I have seen a movie regarding the dark web and personally, dark web is really interesting and intriguing website (for me, I might be a psycho, don't ask) because it is so secretive like only few people from thousands of internet user have access to it. I hope that one day I will have the experience of going into the website.

So that's all for this post. Ciaoooo !
