![]() Now, try tracking me down by going back to the same search engine and pointing directly to the page in question. What would you need to know in order to find this lesson on the web?įirst, try searching for my lesson on one of the search engines, such as Google or Teoma, using the single search term - netiquette. They also have links to advertiser sponsors for even more knowledgeĪ few years ago, I co-created an online tutorial with a lesson on "Netiquette," i.e., computer etiquette. Looksmart’s site had 4 main links but they had links under these links lots of them for individual things like appetite and gastric banding. The links are in 2 columns running down the page. Lesson 3: beaucoup’s directory had 23 links in the diet section of the site. Select any two subject directories listed above (not the portals) and follow the subject categories - do NOT use the search box - to search for information on: weight loss or weight management(HINT: Find the Health link and start there.) Notice the differences in how the human editors organize their sites. Portals (subject directories serving as home pages) This site only had 51 hits and it calls itself the mother of all search engines well I guess that’s a lie because dogpile had more hits.ĮXAMPLES OF SUBJECT DIRECTORIES AND PORTALS : Mamma’s site was kind of plain looking and I have never heard of this site so it was different to me. The interesting thing is with all the resources this site has at its disposal it only had 78 hits on the topic. Lesson 2: Dogpile was the 1st metasearch engine I used I like Dogpile it has a nice looking site. Select any one or two of the metasearchers listed above and search for: Yahoo did provide more information on the given topic though. This interface was a little slower providing the search information and loading the site was also slower than msn’s site. “Connecticut Compromise” had 22,100 hits. Yahoo search engine for Connecticut Compromise had 1,850,000 hits related to the search. Using the search in a phrase gave more accurate servers but typing it in without “” gave more hits. This interface seems friendly and was very easy to get started on the assignment. Lesson 1: MSN search engine for Connecticut Compromise had 289,678 hits related to the search. [Note: The second search should retrieve far fewer documents than the first search. Select one or two of the search engines listed above and search for: Connecticut CompromiseNow try searching for the same subject as a phrase, enclosed in quotes: "Connecticut Compromise" Type your answers in a Word Processer, save a backup copy and then post the answers to your blog. Include pertinent specifics such as comparative hit counts, or user-friendliness of different interfaces. To answer the assignments at the chapter ends, write a couple of lines describing your search results as they pertain to the assignment. Read each chapter and answer the assignment at the end of each chapter.
