Browsers and search engines

Made by abdul bari


Browers
• A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software
application for accessing information on the World Wide Web.
• When a user requests a particular website, the web browser retrieves
the necessary content from a web server and then displays the
resulting web page on the user's device.
• A web browser is not the same thing as a search engine, though the
two are often confused. For a user, a search engine is just a website,
such as Google Search, Bing, or DuckDuckGo, that stores searchable
data about other websites.
• There are types of browsers for example: Microsoft
edge,chrome,internateexplorer, modzilla firefox,safari etc.
Search engines
• A web search engine or Internet search engine is a software system
that is designed to carry out web search (Internet search), which
means to search the World Wide Web in a systematic way for
particular information specified in a textual web search query.
• The search results are generally presented in a line of results, often
referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information
may be a mix of links to web pages, images, videos, infographics,
articles, research papers, and other types of files.
• Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open
directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by
human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information
by running an algorithm on a web crawler.
• There are types search engines for
example:bing,yahoo,google,yandex,ask,Baidu,WolframAlpha etc.
