Today, we learn about directories and meta search engine. i never really use both of them before, so this is something new to me. From my point of view, they are good and useful. Different kinds of search engines are for searching different things. I find them really interesting.
Directories are search engines which can be browsed in categories. This helps to narrow down the search results into a very refined search, with sub categories after sub categories.
Meta engines search other search engines and return the top results in the other search engines. This way it is quick to get the best results for your search query. This saves time as it search many search engines at once with the user going through the trouble of manually searching into multiple search engines.
Directories VS meta engines
To me, i feel that both are equally useful, different search engines are there to serve different purpose. For my topic, im in favor of yahoo directories, it have a category that is related to my topic and i am very happy about it as it is very convenience when there is a totally related category to your topic. However, it would be another story if there is a topic that do not have a category there. On the other hand meta search engine provides many irrelevant search for my topic. In my opinion, depending on the sitiuation and topic, we have to think and choose, if not use both of the engines.
