Day 5

Fifth lesson of EIR.
And i still think blogging is rubbish. Things i will do rather then blogging includes runing around the Bedok Reservoir with cigarettes in my mouth while writing a learning journal using a pen and paper.
Anyway, that is what i want, but i still need to blog in order to pass.
Wonderful.
Great.
Meta search engines and Subject Directories.
Two very alien looking thing to me.
And we shall explore more about them.
How interesting!
Meta search engines: Metacrawler
Metacrawler or meta search engines are search engines that search the all the search engines.
Sounds very nerd.
In simple term, it is the same as google. Just that instead of searching its own resource database, meta search engines search all the search engines.
It is like searching from google, just that the results is a combined result that come from yahoo, google, live and all the other search engines that exist.
Next up,
Subject Directories: Google Directory
Google Directory is about what you know about getting to your search topic roots.
Which means you need to know what you are searching and be sure of your topic.
When you compare the search results, google directory is more direct, gets to your search more accurately. While meta search engine gives you more results.
