Use that spider in your Web! |
 |
|
|
A LIVE Search Engine is fully automated. It carries out your search by using 'bots' or 'spiders' (computer programs) which automatically search the Web for the search string (or words) you have typed in. There is NO human indexing. |
| |
|
|
A LIVE Search Engine will often return you LARGE lists of results, but because it uses keyword matching only, the RELEVANCE may be lower, and the list of results includes very brief information for each Web site listed (making it harder to sift through for what you are after) |
| |
|
|
A LIVE Search Engine will usually give you up-to-date results, and many give you the option (in 'Advanced Search' screens) to only search for a particular date range. |

|
Good examples of LIVE Search Engines include Google, Teoma or AllTheWeb.
