Today's
Word

Search
Engine

A program that searches documents (web pages) for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. The term is often used to specifically describe systems like Infoseek, Alta Vista, Excite, Google, etc. that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web. 

Typically, a search engine works by sending out a "spider" to fetch as many documents as possible. Another program, called an "indexer", then reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document. Each search engine uses a proprietary algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally, only meaningful results are returned for each query.

It is the different algorithms (formula or set of steps for solving a particular problem) that make the various search engines different from each other.

In choosing a favorite search engine, one should search for a specific item using several different search engines.  You can compare results and then determine which one best meets your needs.

A list of many search engines appears at the very bottom of this web site.  Just scroll down and try out some of them.

 

 

 

READER FEEDBACK...

A reader asks...

Q.   "That was a good joke you had here for the last two days.  Why don't you have a "Joke of the Day" section?"

 

A.   Interesting idea.  Anybody out there got any good ones?  Just click HERE and send it in.

 

 

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...

       You pay your psychiatrist with a sanity check.

Stealing Pics and Songs

Although I have outlined the procedure for "stealing" any of the graphic or midi song files that exist at the ComputerGuyNY site (or any other site, for that matter), it's worth repeating here in our Weekly In Depth column.

To save any graphic or song to your hard drive just follow these steps:

1.  RIGHT-CLICK (the right mouse button) on the picture or on the song link

2.  From the resulting menu, choose "save image as" or (for the songs) "save link as"

3.  In the resulting window, take note of where (folder name) the pic/song will be saved and take note of the name of the pic/song

4.  Click on the SAVE button

5.  Anytime you want to see/hear what you saved, go to the folder to which you saved it and double click on the file name

6.  If you forget where you saved it, you can find it with the Window's FIND feature.  Go to START >> FIND >> FILES OR FOLDERS and type in any part of the filename and click on FIND (or hit the enter key on your keyboard)

HINT: Create a folder on you desktop called PICS and another called SONGS and save (or copy) your pics and songs to the appropriate folder.  It'll be very easy to find them when you want them.

Any questions?
