Main Types of Search Engines are Showing Their Differents

     Search engines is actually a program used to search information on the World Wide Web by entering the keyword in the search box. There are a few types of search engines that used to search different kind of information. Although more of the search engines are often used untidy methods to describe crawler-based engines, human-powered directories, hybrid search engines, meta-search engines and everything in between, they are different. Each type of search engines collect and ranks listing in radically different ways.
     Crawler-Based search engines used "spiders" or called it "crawlers" to access to your web pages. This type of search engine will automatically category web pages and download it to analyses the information presented on the web pages. These are called seamless process. Google, Ask Jeeves and Yahoo are the examples of crawler-based search engine. Crawler-based enables user to search through their listings.
     Google.com is also called all-purpose search engines. A video describe how does crawler based-engine works. Those who are interested to know more in detail, here is an video that definition, explain, and how they work. To those who interested to get more knowledge about Crawler-based engine, you are encouraged to play this video. This video are explaining how this type of search engine works.
     Human-Powered directories enable human editors to place the websites within specific categories in the directories database. It was a good site with good content, and it might be more likely to get reviewed for free than a poor site. Dmoz is an example for human-powered directories. 
     Hybrid search engines  are very common for crawler-type and human-powered result to be combined when conducting a search. Hybrid search engines will favor a type of listing over another. Yahoo and Google are the examples of Hybrid search engines. 
     Meta search engines queries other search engines then combine them into a large listing. That means users are actually using many search engines at once to optimize Web searching. Dogpile (owned by InfoSpace and also owns MetaCrawler) and Metacrawler are the examples of Meta search engines.
      The photo below is showing the popular search engines. They are Yahoo, Bing, and Google.

      After you understanding the differences between the main types of search engines, are you going to switch your search engine to Meta Search Engine? I am sure I will do that , because it using many types of search engines at once. Do you interest in the next generation search engine that named Google Panda updated version2.2?
