today's focus is on ... ... ... SEARCH FACILITIES!
i always use Yahoo! and Google for any of my research. i find out that there are more search facilities for me to choose from such as Meta Crawler, Yahoo Directory, Galaxy and lots more. the way how we search our selected topic varies. knowing the right way to search for information in search facilities is very important as it will result in our final product.
the 3 main search facilities are:
search engine , meta search engine and subject directory.
the 3 of them have there "pull" and "push" factors. i can only say that it is dependable on the topic that we are researching about.
Human invent computers and use them, but computers seemed to be as SMART as a human's brain. Search engines are compiled by computers while directories are compiled by humans. What humans are able to do, computers are also able to accomplish and maybe complete in a shorter time. HUMAN BRAIN = COMPUTER! AMAZING RIGHT ?
boolean operators were fun.. they help us to retrieve the more relevant informations in the search facilities. the AND, OR, NOT is fun. they are something similiar the sets chapter of amaths. but unfortunately, it only works well in a search engine.
conclusion of the day:
i am starting to LOVE this CDS since the knowledge that i learn can be apply very oftenly and it will be so useful to me when i am doing my research for any project work. so... what am i going to learn tomorrow ? (:
