Search Engine And Answer Engine

Google is a search engine. You know that. But there exists another species of keyword searching called an answer engine. Answer engines is different from search engines by displaying direct answers to queries, as opposed to lists of Web sites. When using a search engine, your hope is that you’ll find some useful pieces of Internet content. You might be seeking information or entertainment, knowledge or communication. Web sites offer many experiences, and search engines such as Google specialize in cataloguing Web sites.

Answer engines sometimes acknowledge the Web by presenting links to other sites in search results, but those links and other sites are not the main course. Answers are the main course, taken either from Web sites or from reference sources. Either way, the distinguishing characteristic of answer engines is that you don’t click search results to get what you want; the information you’re after is given to you directly.

One simple example of an answer engine’s function is a word definition. If you look up a word in a dictionary, you don’t want the book to direct you to another book — you just want the word’s spelling and meaning. By the same token, you don’t want a search engine pointing you to another site for a simple answer. Google used to link its users to another site for simple word definitions; now it defines the word directly. That’s an example of Google taking on the characteristics of an answer engine.

It has become competitively important for search engines to provide quicker answers to reference queries of many sorts. The following sections describe several (sometimes surprising) ways that you can hit Google with a fast query and move on with the answer in hand, without unnecessary linkage.

Always Showing Chrome Bookmark Bar

One of the problems with modern browsers is that the toolbars at the top of the screen occupy a good part of the viewing area of any Web page, and take away from the online experience. Google’s minimalist tendency has tried to avoid stealing screen space with its clever use of the New Tab page.

By default, this is the only place where you see the Bookmarks bar. That makes sense because the Bookmarks bar appears when you’re making the decision about what new page you want to open. This is probably how most people will want to leave it — keeping the Bookmarks bar out of the way, not obscuring the amount of screen space dedicated to viewing a Web page or a YouTube video.

However, if you want to see the Bookmarks bar on every page, right-click the Bookmarks bar in the New Tab page and choose Always Show Bookmarks Bar or press Ctrl + B.

Even if you’ve bookmarked hundreds of pages, you can use the search tool to find any one of them either in your history or in your bookmarks list. Chrome even keeps track of recently closed tabs, so if you close something accidentally, you can restore it with a click. You can also search your entire browsing history for lost pages with the Search box.

Your Browser can make your computer safe?

Chrome even protects you from people who would steal your information or install bad software onto your computer. Every time you use it, Chrome automatically downloads a list of Web sites that Google knows are bad. They either try to get you to give up your personal information or load software to track your behavior. Whenever you come across a bad site, Google blocks the screen and helps you navigate away. If you’re certain the site is legitimate, there’s an option to continue at your own risk.

Scammers like to make you think you’re visiting a popular site, such as your bank or eBay. Although Chrome does its best to protect you from these sites, do not enter personal information, such as PINs or Social Security numbers, on a site that you visit from an e-mail link.

When in doubt, visit the site directly (by typing www.ebay.com, for example) and log in, or call the organization to see whether the request is valid.With the Omnibox, you have a handful of ways to tell whether a site is legitimate. In the Omnibox, the domain name of the site you’re visiting appears in black letters and the rest of the long address is gray. If you’re visiting an eBay page, make sure that the address shows www.ebay.com and not some other address. When you’re on a secure site, the Omnibox is yellow and a lock icon appears on the right side. You’ll also notice that the “https” letters appear in green.
