Aug 02, 2017 02:48 AM (via Android App)

Now a days internet is a primary need of everyone. Everyone wants to increase the speed of search techniques. But there are some tricks that user may not be aware of.


The sad part is that the people used search engines improperly.


1) use specific terms: -


Many web pages are returning when we search a terms. If we search a terms then web pages shows thousands of results. To overcome these problems search specific terms related to subjrct.


2) capitalization: -


Capitalization is matter when we search a terms because of search engine cannot differentiate between upper and lower case.


I hope these two tips are help you to imrove your search abilities.

A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. 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 web pages, images, 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.

How to use Google like a pro? Part1
May 27, 2015 12:58 PM

I am writing this review under the section "Tips on the Effective Use of Search Engines". Yes, there are hundreds search engines existing in the web. We seem to know only few of them like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask etc. Among them, the big "G" aka Google has made it to the top as far as search engine popularity is concerned. Others are way behind it.


At the present moments, search engines means only Google to most of us. Common people with normal Internet activity and knowledge mostly  use Google for any query. So, it is really important to be able to search like a professional on Google to get the optimum result on SERP( Search Engine Result pages).


While using Google search just be casual and normal and type the question or topic that comes in your mind normally.No need to write something fabricated or extraordinary.


There are lots of search operators for using Google search and we  do not use them frequently. But, if you can use at least some of them in a proper way, you are bound to get excellent output for your search.


Google works on Broad Match and Exact Match. Normally we search broad match and get the broad match results.


Now, what is broad match search?  Say you are in search of some remedies or ways to losse your weight. You simply type weight loss on Google, and the search results will display all the sites related to weight loss, or similar terms related to weight loss, or medicines for weight loss etc etc. In fact, there is a chance for some unrelated sites to be displayed. So, you may not be directed to the pages that you were targeting. But, if you search using a quotation mark like "weight loss", you will get more filtered results where only the sites having the word in the same sequence will appear. So, it is always wise to use quotation mark while searching on Google. Searching with quotation mark will give you exact match results.


Just have a look at the attached screen shots just to get a simple idea:


When I search writing only weight loss the search is showing 24, 80, 00, 000 results, where as when I search the same word "weight loss"(using quotation mark), the search is showing only 20, 50, 00, 000 results. It means you are now getting filtered results to meet your criteria or requirements. So, I hope you have got the point here and usefulness of using quotation mark on your search phrase.


There is another easy tiechnique while you are browsing through a huge site with lots of content. It  literally takes lot of time to search for your desired topics in a huge volume site.


Now, let's say, you are searching for weight loss related articles on mouthshut.com. Now, simply open Google and type  site: mouthshut.com weightloss and just see the google output. You will be quite happy to see the results, rest assured. So, it will easily save your time and you can land up on your desired pages so fast.


Please use these two above mentioned tips and they will surely benefit you in the searching.


HAPPY SEARCHING!

"Redefine" your search!!
May 08, 2015 09:36 PM

Well its really a pain when u try to search for something on the Search engines like Google, Yahoo, youtube or any other and u dont find the appropriate results to u search, that moment is a big distress moment.  This is because, the info u r trying to look out for will a have a lots of results. For an example, u search for Airsoft Gun, u get details for Air guns, Fan guns, Air soft cushions and so on.


So, how to deal this to some extent, how to narrow down u Search!


How to use ur search engine effectively, here r some of the ways I knew -


1) Use of best keywords - Dont put in short words. Give upto more details keywords.  If u r search is a famous one like Camaro, then just word "Camaro" will do.   But if wanna know about Top 10 best shooters in the Olympics, then u need to type the keywords in detail.


2) Use the Refine option - Every Search engine has some called "Redefine Search" or "Advanced Search". U can use this for getting the best close answer. U can also use them for Webpages, Photos and videos.   U can redefine it with "time posted", "Size". "Location" and so on.


3) Adding "+"(plus) in between - This is an another effective way I found out to wat I need to get.  some time u keywords wont be helpful. so for them if u add up+ in between the word, it would narrow to results to ur needs.  For example, if u wanna know about "Egg separator in India", for best results u can type it as "Egg+Separator+India".


4) Bookmarks - This is an another effective way to view the website real quickly. I use bookmarks very often!  This helps u get to website quicker even u forget the web address!


5) Clearing up the browsing history - This function free ups ur Search engine and makes ur search process little faster.


6) Choosing best Engine - Well basically, this is just like how we select a new car or bike, and most them wrt the engine.   Yes, the better Search engine has lots more Advancements and makes ur seach pretty easy.  As far I know Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are the best.


7) Keep updating - Well updating ur search engine regularly give u a lots of new options for ur search and results.


Overall, like I said before, refine ur search and enjoy the results.

Search Engine
May 03, 2011 06:01 PM

Search engine optimization is crucial for anyone who wants people to  visit his or her Web site. You can place as many ads as you like, but  most people are still going to find your site because of its listings in  search engines or directories.


Search engine optimization is the  process of making web pages attractive to search engines. In my work, I  visit hundreds of web sites every month. Sadly, many of them are  throwing traffic away; they look fine to the viewer, but ignore the  basics of effective search engine optimization.


It's a fact that  most people who use search engines only look at the first one or two  page of search listings. The goal of effective search engine  optimization is to get your pages listed on those critical first pages  for particular key terms.

Search Engines
Sep 01, 2010 02:31 PM

A web search engine is designed to search for information  on the World Wide Web. Search engines are popular tools for locating web pages, but they often return millions of results. Search engines crawl the Web and log the words from the web pages they find in their databases.


Each search engine queried by a meta search engine returns results in the form of a result list of documents. The key issue is to combine these lists to achieve the best performance. Search services on the Internet come in two main flavors:'search engines' that index words or terms in Internet documents; and  'directories' that classify Web documents or locations into an arbitrary  subject classification scheme or taxonomy.


Precision is a problem because of the high incidence of false positives. That is why you get so many seemingly irrelevant documents in your searches. Do you agree?

If you are a copy cat
Feb 13, 2010 12:09 PM

Copy cat has a wide meaning, it is not just writing something and pasting but also talking like a copy cat by wide reading habit and telling or advising on the basis of knowledge gained by references without referring the original.


I never knew what was meant by copycat. Thanks I know very well it is dangerous to grow in oneself as a personality and get worthy name, becoming copy cat eludes our original trait and has to depend on the reference book when some one ask a question. Are you a copy cat, am I a copy cat. Let me answer I am not at all a copy cat, and never place a dictionary nor a reference book nor anything materially prepared one, I write anything just online so there will be lot of errors, spelling mistakes and even format is so bad, many can easily make out this me cant be a copy cat because copy cats cannot do any error they are afraid to make spelling mistakes so their secretary has to paste it except the page no and other folded pages not to be shown or else it is xerox in total.


Copy cats write so well, just like boring like sharukhan. Some how I find srk is sort of copy cat he has no originality at all, too much trying to outsmart makes a person branded copy cat, I am sorry if I have hurt anyone in this regard and advice them not to depend upon copying from elsewhere from page one to page last except the bound. How to solve and find. I want ms should make them declare that this review or post is not ditto reference from this or that magazine or from any book or a dialogue from any films. Copy cats should surrender their points. When they are found the best penalty be simple one hundred rupees payable post dated after one hundred years and the gift points they get be deleted and given to me, I don't mind to get their points.


New members may not know the meaning of copy cat. Yes there should be thorough education for new copy cats. How to copy cat. Yes you can copy cat and also print it here, so long you are not detected u get points and lot of members will trust you, because you are a good copy cat. Shh don't disclose to other seasoned copy cats.Don't give what reference you got from, otherwise he will steal from your computer too. Let there be a healthy debate on whether you are a copy cat and will pledge no more to be a copy cat.


Last question. Just ask yourself am I a good copy cat or bad copy cat. Bad copy cat means he don't know how to get good reviews. So the answer is try to copy from other copy cat and what ever he or she has written same reprint. What will happen? If you do it this copy cat will complain to ms that you too have copy catted from his copy cat review.

Cyber Threats to Watch Out for in 2010
Jan 19, 2010 09:58 AM

Security is a huge part of the job for most IT administrators. We’re always striving to protect our organizations from the latest barrage of viruses, worms, and other malware. With 2009 over, what types of threats could we face in the year ahead? The recent 2010 Threat Predictions report from McAfee pegs a few different areas to watch out for in 2010.


Social networks will be one key breeding ground for cyber attacks, says McAfee. As sites like Twitter and Facebook(News - Alert) continue to grow in popularity, especially among the business crowd, cyber crooks will increasingly employ their usual bag of tricks to try to ensnare users.


A site like Facebook can be especially vulnerable as many people will implicitly and unthinkingly trust any "invitation" from their friends. But as McAfee points out, that next invite to play a cool game or run an interesting application from a Facebook friend could be a fake app created by a cybercriminal designed to infect your PC. We've already seen such malware attacking Facebook, such as the infamous Koobface worm that first reared its ugly head about a year ago.


Personally, I've just about stopped playing games, filling out quizzes, and running most applications in Facebook. I've never been comfortable with the way a Facebook app needs to gain access to your personal information in order to run. That's always seemed like an open vulnerability that could easily allow the wrong people to learn too much about you. Now McAfee's reminder that these apps are also a way to spread malware is something IT admins and Facebook users should keep in mind.


Another area to watch out for is the use of URL shorteners, popular on social networking and bookmarking sites. Services like bit.ly and tinyurl.com shorten URL strings so they can fit in smaller spaces, such as the 140-character limit imposed by Twitter. But you can't preview a shortened URL, so you don't know where it's going to take you until the page pops up. This makes it easy for cyber crooks to point these URLs to pages that could deliver malware.


Microsoft apps have traditionally been a popular target for malware writers. But that "honor" may switch over to Adobe this year. As Adobe Reader and Flash have become more prevalent, they've also become more of a target for cybercriminals. Adobe Reader in particular has been hit by security holes over the past year, forcing Adobe to take a more active role in keep its app properly patched.


Other threats that McAfee sees in its crystal ball for 2010:


Banking trojans designed to grab your financial account information may become more advanced. Already in 2009, they showed off the ability to sneak past some of the protections currently used by banks. McAfee warns that this year they may be able to silently interrupt transactions and even make withdrawals without being detected.


E-mail attachments will also continue to grow as a primary means of spreading malware. McAfee believes that these attachments could even target specific audiences, such as corporations, journalists - not good news on my end - and individuals.


Botnets, which are responsible for carrying out cyberattacks, will also increasingly use peer-to-peer networking to hop from one computer to another without a central base of operations. Such a strategy will make it more difficult for security professionals to track them down.


So how do you prepare yourself for the potential threats that lie ahead? Well, naturally since McAfee wrote the report, the company would like you to buy its own security software to protect your users. And McAfee does offer software with certain capabilities, such as the ability to scan shortened URLs. The company also recently struck a deal with Facebook to provide Facebook users with a free six-month subscription to its security software.


But any good security suite or application would be your first line of defense in protecting you and your users from the coming threats. It goes without saying that choosing and using the right software and keeping it updated is critical, no matter what security software you deploy. Also, make sure that you keep your organization's PCs updated with the latest patches from Microsoft to protect the operating system, office suite, and browser.


But beyond the right software, user education is vital. Make sure your users are aware of the latest threats and realize that their actions can have consequences.

DOGPILE search engine
Jan 18, 2010 04:14 PM

I have been using the dogpile search engine for quite some time now. It is one of the best I've seen. It beats others by seconds, minutes or shall I say by the count?


Dogpile is a search of search engines. It simultaneously(Yes) searches on google, yahoo askme.&.And it lists the results. Just below the desciption it gives a note( found on google, yahoo, askme.and whichever SE could find what you were looking for).


Then you can decide which result to look into, based on your preference of SE based on the subject.


Dogpile has never complained, and piles up results for me, one of the best servants ever.

The Best Search Engine Optimization Company
Jan 05, 2009 04:08 PM

Earlier we were having troubles getting in this top of the Search engine results. We had tried many SEO strategies like article submission, directory submission etc by ourselves and nothing seemed to work. Finally we came across https://submitinme.com, a SEO company based in India. We happened to see lots of unique SEO strategies provided by them. We tried some of their unique SEO services and we got the results. Our website "Diatea" is in the first page of Google results for the keyword "Cassia Auriculata Flower extract".


The main thing we like about SubmitinME is their well detailed reporting system. They will be providing the report with screenshots at the completion of all the SEO projects. It's worth every single penny you spend for SEO through submitinme.com. Communicating with them to know the progress of the projects is very easy. They have a cool message board where we can seek assistance regarding the search engine optimization projects. They also have a great SEO news section, where we can find updates in search engine optimization techniques and updated lists of SEO friendly directories

The ultimate all in one search engine
Jul 26, 2008 07:31 PM

I happy to talk about scour. The latest engine which will come up with results of 3 search engines MSN, Yahoo, Google. Please try to use this and update me about how the product is.Scour was founded by five students(Vince Busam, Michael Todd, Dan Rodriques, Jason Droege and Kevin Smilak) from the Computer Science Dept. of the University of California, Los Angeles(UCLA) in 1997. It moved into the spotlight in 1999 when former Disney president Michael Ovitz bought about a quarter of its shares.


The company's early products were an SMB search engine and Scour Media Agent, a Windows application to download files from SMB shares. The search engine would probe IP addresses for publicly shared files and then index them for download by other users.


Scour Media Agent


In 1998, the company developed a web search engine as well, crawling the World Wide Web for links to multimedia, audio, video and images.


In 1999 Scour received an investment from Michael Ovitz and the Yucaipa Company, an investment arm of the billionaire Ronald Burkle.


Together, the total investment represented a controlling share in the company. After the investment, Scour expanded in terms of product offerings and personnel. The company launched a software product named MyCaster which allowed users to stream audio over the network, optionally mixing microphone input with an MP3 audio file in real time.

Looking for Me??
Aug 05, 2007 05:21 PM

There are search engines and there are search engines.And in the end there is just one search engine.Folks, we all know its called google and the term's almost generic now.It is very easy to search on google.There are no colourful distractions on the page, just the company name and the search box.Its as if the site expects you to search immediately.I like it this way I do searching quite often.


Just this morning I was able to find out about Mahatma Gandhi's family using the names of his sons as keywords.Indeed, in my experience, little and useless as it is, the search keyword(s) is the most important reason behind a fruitful google search.You type the most appropriate keyword and watch with glee as the most useful results appear on screen.The presence or absence of period signs, fullstop & comma seem to cause no disturbance so far as the end result is concerned.These days the image search works rather well and if you are looking for that rare photo of say Satyajit Ray all you have to do is to key in his name.Sometimes images that have strong associations with the words appear on their own even for a general search.If you are a bengali, or if you are not, type in Durga Puja and watch the goddess appear on your screen.If you are looking for some specific keywords within the result go to the 'cached' part to see the words highlighted in colour.


The search engines are so powerful these days that you may seek something from your s/e and be sure that it will be granted eg. excerpts from scholarly papers, videos, spellings, arithmetic results, word meanings anythingI am a non-technical, non-educated person.I know nothing about anything.All that I have written is based completely on experience both bitter and sweet.So there.

Search Engines turns threats !!
Nov 26, 2006 10:49 PM

Boy ! Oh ! Boy ................ Search engines the magic tool of the cyber world .Lets you find information about anything and everything in just a matter of seconds . Undoubtedly the most useful and handy tool in the internet .


BUT IS IT A HACKING TOOL !!!


" Thats rich !!! How can it be a hacking tool " ........... Sounds a bit ironic....... but its true . Even I was astounded when I came to know about it . The lunatic fringe is after your data and Search engines serves them best .


" But how can it be possible " .... Yeah it is possible and this is how it works .


Say for example , a hacker needs certain information . The next thing he will do is to find out in which possible format the file which has the information he need will be in .


Ok lets make it more simple .... Consider yourself  a cyber thief and you need some  password files . Password files can most probably  exist either in .txt format or .xls format  .So you connect to the internet , opens your favourite search engine ...Let it be Google (its my fav ). Now you are in the google .com webpage all you need to do is to search using index of , file type strings to search  the possible file name and data type .


index of /passwords filetype :txt


OR


*index of /passwords filetype :xls



Thats it ... You got what you need . The first search will return all the files in .txt format with password as part of their name and the second will return the files in  .xls format . hmm .......... Now thats a cloud on the horizon .


Now put yourself in another situation ...... You are a music freak and you are a die hard fan of Bryan adams ( even I am ) ....  You need the lovely song " Everything I do " but you are not willing to pay for it . Well you dont have to ...Search engines to the rescue ! Once again go to the google webpage and seach with the keywords


*intitle:index of" Everything I do "mp3



Holy s !! you have just got the list of urls where you can download the mp3 song for free .Not just one song , but many more . Isnt that great !!  Those are the url's of webspaces where some people or companies upload their data and music without password protection . The owners of the url's may be unaware that their url is listed in  search engines . ( even I have downloaded many english songs like this .............. NO COMMENTS ).


"Thanks , But no thanks . This  doesnt bother me , I trace the ip address of all visits to my webspace , I can easily trace the intruder "


Well think again . Do you expect the hacker to be dumb enough to intrude into a secure site without any defence measures . A technical hacker always uses "Anonymity proxy servers " (jap for instance) and leaves no trace .


So this is how search engines turns into free hacking tools . Nearly everything can be downloaded and accessed  this way from the internet , Even the most sensitive data unless protected . The majority victims of such attacks are systems administrators of companies who fail to secure the data efficiently .


"Prevention is better than cure "


So here are a few things that you can do to protect ur data from such attacks .


Password protect ur directories containing sensitive data (confidential)


Create robos.txt file in the root directory and list the data that u dont want to be listed in the search engines .


Avoid uploading confidential information in the internet as much as you can . No matter whatever defence you take , online is not 100% secure .


So even the most useful things created for a postive purpose can be misused and made a deadly weapon against one's privacy and secrecy . Anyways we cant stop people who find pleasure in doing such insane acts (no matter whatever the reason is ) .


So all u guys its time to clamp down unauthorized access to ur webspaces . Ensure more security to ur url's and be a better administrator .

Guruji.com - India’s answer to Google ?
Oct 27, 2006 04:01 PM

India is leading today in the terms of IT services it provides globally. It may be sometimes misleading to stereotype India as a outsourcing sector in the IT industry rather than a product maker. There may be a few products which Indian IT firms have managed to produce but these have caused significant changes in the market only to be taken over by the IT giants. India’s stride in the development zone might bring up some enthusiasm amongst Indian technicians who flock abroad for search of such oppurtunities.


The students of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) have now tied up thier seat belts to get prepared to carry on a big fight or maybe enter a race where its competitors have reached the brink of perfection. Guruji.com, India’s first search engine has gone live on October 12, 2006. Its primarily in its beta stage and proves to cater to the Indian audience which I feel is a nice take as trying to be global in the first step would have been slight dampening as its success would be straightway measured to the likes of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft etc. But taking on the Indian look Guruji provides a strict policy of bringing you the pages solely belonging to India. It even asks for feedback if you encountered a page which was not Indian. Guruji.com is backed by Sequoia Capital India (which eventually provided venture capital for Google, Yahoo!, Paypal, Electronic Arts, YouTube, Ometric, Insider Pages ) with a $7 million funding which seems very much encouraging for the efforts going to be put into making Guruji.com a big success.


I tried a rather hard comparision on this 14 day old Guruji to the 8 year old Google. The search key I chose was “diwali“. The results proved pretty interesting. Google’s Indian Pages searched 11,60,000 in 0.13 seconds while Guruji returned 2,20,239 results (time not mentioned, but was faster than Google’s) put into a ratio of about 5:1. Then I searched for “Infosys” in which google returned 3,19,00 pages in 0.2 sec while Guruji returned 1,00,645 pages put into a ratio of about 3:1.


Being a 14 day old search engine and bringing about 3:1 ratio results (almost similar in relevance) is a good news for the IIT students and Indians alike for such future innovations within the country. The thing to watch out for would be whether it would be able to attain success in the Indian market like Google.
