The Internet Is A Library

How does the internet work really? Well, let us say that the internet is a huge library which gets more and more new content each day. An online user would be a person going to the library to look for a particular book, which would be the search term for the online user. This user would tell the librarian that he wants such a book. The librarian, which would be the search engine, would then look for the needed book.

According to an article, just like individual librarians in the real world, search engines have their own ways or techniques of finding the right results for a certain keyword or search term. With two types of search engines being utilized right now, there are going to differences really. Search engines with programs (known as “spiders”) do the crawling on the internet automatically. The other type is a search engine that is human driver and this one needs human users to put in their site’s data so it could provide the results for a certain keyword.
