When to use an Index? Have a specific objective/site in mind. Have very specific topic – little is written. Need to search for a narrow piece of information (3 concepts): –Italian paintings Haseltine Want to be exhaustive - find many websites. Examples: –Google –Yahoo –MSN

When to use a Directory? Need general information (or answer question) on a rather general/broad topic/category (1-2 concepts). You prefer a list of relevant websites related to your topic rather than individual pages. Would like to browse (and then search) a certain area. Need quality information, carefully evaluated and even annotated. Examples: –dir.google.comdir.google.com –dir.yahoo.comdir.yahoo.com –dmoz.orgdmoz.org Note: directories tend to index only the main pages of a site!

Problems of MSEs No advanced search options. Using the lowest common denominator. Sponsored results from the SEs are not highlighted.

Vivisimo: link: Not supported?

When to use a Meta-SE? When single Basic-SE fails to provide good results. Simple Query. 1.Need (few) answers from many varied sources 2.ambiguous terms 3.need clustering for refined terms Examples: –Vivisimo/clusty (useful clustering!)Vivisimo/clusty –DogpileDogpile –ixquickixquick

How to use MSE? Simple queries Little or no field searching is available Most services return a limited number of results that do not represent the totality of results from any source engine Notice Sponsored results (may are not highlighted)

When to use All-in-one Search When you want to search multiple SEs, switch between them easily, but not in parallel. Examples: – – – – –Others:
