Super Searching and Databases

The process of accessing information on the internet is facilitated by the easy to use search engines and databases. Users operate a basic search engine by entering certain keywords and pressing the search button.  Several of these search engines have an advanced searching option; they allow the user to search web using more specific parameters. The most commonly known search engine is the famous Google Search engine. Google's Advanced Search system allows the user to enter queries and entries that may search for specific words or phrases, as well as omit unwanted content. The user may also search for material of a selected reading level and files of different types. An even more specific search filter allows the user to search for material of a specific domain or host name.

Although using an internet search engine or an advanced search can be practical to find specific information, online databases are generally more reliable sources than web searches. These databases allow users to access their collections of filed historical documents, encyclopedias, and libraries that cannot be physically accessed. In our exponentially changing technological world, easily accessed information is paramount, from a single webpage to historical documents, these archives are highly useful.
