Web Search Engines: Parts 1 and 2
I find it so interesting how search engines can scan websites for specific words and phrases to find query results. What's more amazing to me is how quickly they can do so, while filtering out unwanted material all the while considering spam tactics. It's important to consider the search side together with the indexing side of web content. The need for a concise, logical indexing system becomes even more apparent. This is an incredible complex task, taking into consideration acronyms, misspellings, multiple languages, etc.

The Open Archives Initiative has grown from the need for interoperability and efficient content sharing. The article's mention of the Deep Web helped me to understand that not all relevant information may be found by search engines. We can all benefit from learning how to initiate better search queries, in order to retrieve some of this "buried" information.
