CHAPTER-5 INTERNET SEARCH

Practice Questions
1. What is Search Engine? Give three examples.

A software application or service used to locate files on an intranet or the Web, generally accessed with
browsers.

Google: The full form of Google is “Global Organization of Oriented Group Language of Earth”. It is a
powerful tool. It would be practically impossible to find out the information without Google. It is based on
Logical ‘AND’ with 3D keyword search operation.

Yahoo!: It is an acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle. It is a web search engine
owned by Yahoo. It is actually a directory – a subject index. It searches on a subject or topic and is based
on Logical ‘And’ and wildcard after each search word. It is a filtered search site. A search agent, category
based approach and recently switched to 3-D search Google technology.
Rediff: Rediff search engine is one of the leading internet portals in India. It maintains a directory
categorically and uses Inktomi search technology. It has been designed to meet the needs of Indians
worldwide. Yet it is balanced in such a way that it does not compromise on accuracy for non-Indian
topics.

2. Why Search Engine is needed?

There are millions of pages and billions of words on the Web and more are being added. But it is not organized
properly. A Search engine is a tool which helps us to search these disorganized sources of information available
on the Internet.
Using a search engine is pretty simple. Just type in the data to be searched, the space provided at the search
engine’s current page, and click search. The result will be displayed with information corresponding to the
search in the form of a list of web-sites that match that word or phrase.

3. Name three Boolean operators used with keywords while using Search Engines.

The three Boolean operators used with keywords while using Search Engines are:-

 AND Operator

AND is the default operator in search engines. So whenever more than one keyword is typed,
the search engine will automatically connect them with the AND operator. This search will
retrieve records with BOTH search terms present. It is used to NARROW the search. Example:
Wind AND Fire

 OR Operator

By using OR operator search results will contain either one or several or all of the search
terms. OR operator is used to EXPAND the search.

Example: Wind OR Fire

 NOT Operator

It is used to exclude keywords from search. Instead of NOT – (dash) can also be used. NOT
operator is used to NARROW the search by eliminating term.

Example: Wind NOT Fire or Wind -Fire


4. What is E-Commerce?
A broad definition of e-commerce is: “The marketing, promoting, buying & selling of goods electronically,
particularly via the Internet”. It can also be defined as the “the trading of goods and services in which the
final order is placed over the Internet”. E-Commerce is the subset of E-Business.

5. Name the different types of E-Commerce.

E-commerce can be categorized in four ways:

• Business to business (B2B); Eg:- www.vendome.niit.com


• Business to consumer (B2C); Eg:- www.indiatimes.com
• Consumer to business (C2B); Eg:- www.makemytrip.com
• Consumer to consumer (C2C); Eg:- www.ebay.in

6. What is the use of Phrase search?


Phrases are very useful at narrowing down search results to pages that contain the exact, specific
string of characters written as a phrase. Phrase search can be do by using quotation marks (") around
a specific phrase.
Example: If "Padma Shri Award Winners 2014" is searched for, the search results now will only
bring back pages that have all these words in the exact order that is typed them in.
