How to use
the Search Engine Resource Center** To find something click on
one of the below 30 links in alphabetical order to help you find it.
My current favorite search engine is Google because of the quality of
the sites it gives in almost all the searching I do. My second
favorite is MSN or All the Web and third is Yahoo. Your results may
vary.

Spend any time online, and you discover
that no single search engine meets all your searching needs. As you
work with different engines, you find that each one is useful in
particular situations. A crawler is great when you're looking for
specifics, and hierarchical engine works better when you need help
narrowing a broad search.
Choosing the right search engine to
match your search is an ability learned over time, and with a little help
from the Search Engine Resource Center and your friends at
Cutler's
Cove.
Be Aware
of Paid Placement!
Paid Placement on Search Engines: Many well known search engines,
including AltaVista, LookSmart, Overture, Yahoo!, and more, allow
advertisers to pay for prominent positioning on your search results
page. Look twice to make sure you distinguish between what's paid for
and what's not. The first listings are not always the best or most
appropriate because of paid placement.
A good article on how to research what you have:
What do I have and what's it worth? Basic search concepts.
According to
NetRatings for
November 2005
the Big Four
search engines are:
Google
- 46.3% of searches
Yahoo - 23.4% of searches
MSN - 11.4% of searches
AOL - 6.9% of
searches
Results do not add up to 100% as
some searchers use more than one search engine.
It is sad
but there are just three companies left in the search engine field
that really matter: Google, Yahoo! and MSN.
Google is now searching 8,058,044,651
web pages in November 2004
Google is now searching
4,280,000,000
web pages in February 2004
Google is was searching 3,307,998,701
web pages in September 2003
Google was searching 3,083,324,652 web pages in December 2002
Google was searching
2,073,418,204 web pages in January 2002
Google co-founder Larry Page said back in December 2002: "To search
our collection of 3 billion documents by hand, it would take 5,707
years, searching 24 hours per day, at one minute per document. With
Google, it takes less than a second."

Search Engine Resources Especially for Search Engine Users
*Inktomi does not have its own search
engine interface but provides crawler results to many other search
engines.
**How to use the Search Engine Resource Center which we call
The Easy Searcher's Page here:
http://cutlerscove.com/company/searchengines.htm
. It has a list of about 30 search engines in alphabetical order to help you
find what you are looking for. When you click each link a new window opens
and you can complete your search on that engine. If you do not find what you
are looking for on that search engine then close that window and you will be
back on Search Engine Resource Center page ready to start a new search on
the next engine in the list.

What is the difference between the Internet and the
World Wide Web?
- The Internet started in 1969 and is a network of
networks.
- The World Wide Web, was born in 1989, and is a
system of interconnected Web pages that you can access via the
Internet. It did not really take off until about 1993. In the past few years, the Web has become the most common
way of using the Internet. In 1993, the Internet had 130 Web sites.
Today, it has many millions, and statistics indicate that the number
is doubling every few months.
How big is the Web?
- Way big, real big, big, big, or to put numbers on
it, at least two billion pages, sometime in January 2002. There
never will be a clear answer on the Web's size now that many pages are
buried in Intranets behind firewalls. But with the leading search
engines now claiming to have indexed more than two billion pages, the public Web is
over a giga-plex at
least.
Internet Usage
- Radio was in 10% of American households in 1925.
By 1935 that had grown to 70%. TV went from 9% in 1950 to 87% in 1960.
Internet use in the USA from 2000 to 2004 grew 108%.
Internet
penetration in U.S. households has reached nearly 75 percent, rising
roughly 9 percentage points in the last year, Nielsen//NetRatings
reported in its newly-released Enumeration Study, conducted in
February of 2004.
