Are our search engines efficient?

Earlier, the data present in internet is very limited, so there was no need of a search engine at the beginning. Later as time passed by the data has been increasing exponentially and also the innovations in the internet had lead to new technologies and new data. All this could not be tracked by the human brains, so they started maintaining the records/files of data in enormous size. Later the data size grew too fast hat no one can ever know what the exact amount of data present in internet except from prediction of data. Internet search engines made the humans life easy in finding the required data.


There are three generations in search engines namely, first generation, web search engines 2.0, semantic web search engines. First generation search engines went through all the web pages and displayed the l for any key words used by the user. Web 2.0 search engines like Google the web pages using page rank and back links of various web pages present on the internet. We still don't get satisfying results when we use them because they can't interpret what we are trying to search for precisely. Semantic web search or third generation web search engines are prevalent in this and are going to be deciphering human thoughts and search relative to his thinking and get results. Though these are not available in the market, we are hoping to see them very soon.

Introduction to Browsers

A browser is an interface for surfing/using the internet.It is the heart of the internet usage is browser, but unfortunately most of the net users don’t realize its importance and they still stick to the old lousy unsecured browsers. This may be due to the reason that they are not aware of the new things and some are not ready to accept the change; Microsoft has to be blamed for incorporating Internet Explorer into the Windows by default, because this is one of the easiest ways for the hackers to get into your computer. The present browsers are very sophisticated and easy to use with lots of plug-ins and themes and customizations.


I personally recommend you to use Firefox latest version or Flock if you are a web holic or an indefinite user of internet with social networking and planning to make internet usage as a hobby. The other browsers like Opera and Internet Explorer are also good but not as decent enough as the above two as far as I am concerned. Later, we will tell you how to use the add-ons and themes to get best out of them. The good part of Firefox is it is an open source browser. As it is an open source browser anyone customize to meet their needs and desires. Google chrome is the new player to this game. You can download the browsers from the following links.
