blike Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I've never seen one, I don't even know what it is. Any examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wickaph Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 i think it's an engine focused on a certain subject only, unlike google, yahoo, etc. i haven't seen one yet:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 The quality of such a search engine will depend on three things: (1) The quality of the structure of any databases it is searching through - a good DB structure is essential to any web-based application, (2) The quality of the actual script that runs the search - a little thought goes a long way here (a search engine is basically an interface for building semi-custom queries to be run on a database table), (3) The quality of the instructions given and the competence of the user in following them.
