Web search strategies are, “tool-based” made to search a specific item on the Web. Sometimes you will find these search engines under, “google, ask jeeves, yahoo, etc”. The Web search strategies or search engines have been around since 1994. These engines/strategies are made to help the human mind search for a specific idea, items, image, or text with easily as one or two words. In June of 1993, Matthew Gray created what was known as the first search engine, called, “World Wide Web Wanderer”. His initials were, “To measure the growth of the web and created this bot to count active web servers.” What do search strategies or search engines do? The search strategies or engines are known to use “spiders” to search or wander the web for information. They are programs that request pages that have to do with what you are searching for, just like regular browsers do. The search engines limit down the pages that relate to words given, the “spiders” search the many millions web pages that relate to what you are searching for. They skim them down by searching the sights for word-related topics. It’s so much easier for this, because if not you’d have to search the million of web pages for the information desired. Teachers use this for students to study topics, find related information for a paper, study notes, or anything school related. Search engines are a big part of student’s lives, because easy sites like google, or yahoo help students search for a certain school topic easily. They find their information quick, fast, and sooner than you think.
