The internet for business research: search engines
In term of research and gather information of the internet, there are some personal and business
search engines are very valuable research tools that work as directories that list all the information
on the web. Personal search engines such as Google and Yahoo may not be suitable for business and
vice versa. Other business search engines such as Copernic which is an automatic search of other
search engines , for example once a business use it to search for something, then this search engine
will automatically send the query to multiple search engines at the same time.
For example, Google search engines offer specifics techniques that can be used to reduce the
amount of unnecessary wanted information and to find useful information. This can happen when
refined the words or sentence used to carry out the search. For example, I used Google search
engines to search with the word ‘’laptops’’, Google showed thousands and thousands of many
different website, however if this refined by entering ‘’Dell laptops’’, Google will come with less
results, and when enclosing this query with quote marks (‘’ ‘’), Google will return with much less
results.
