I thought engine needs gears?!

Search Engine

You know what it is, Google, Yahoo, Opera, Internet Explorer, Firefox, you name it. Engines which exist with no visible engine and no gears but it is the most hardworking engine..

...in the world.

(No, that is not a loading screen.)

Connecting you any world wide web (www), any keyword would direct you to the most related information or feed that you might need!

FYI; each search engines have their own database (or library of data).

Do you know?

What actually happen once you type in your keyword to a search engine?

As you typed your query in the user interface / user friendly page..

...a web-crawled will be released all over the internet...

... to collect your information at their database...

... and your result will be show according to what the information retrieval system provided you with. Ranked according to relevance.

Now

Not all of the search engines are made for all. Specialized Search Engines are made to search only based on your specific interests. Take these for example:

Google Scholar 

Education World

Art cyclopedia

Pipl.com
