9.WHAT IS A FINDER?

A finder is “a page of Internet in which we can enter and look for all kind of information.”
Really the information that we found when we make a search in this type of pages does not reside in the same page where is the finder.
(Except for exceptional cases, in which the finder tries to find words or articles lodged in the same page in which we were).
The function of the finder consists of, according to introduced information, consults it and compare with indexed lists ,and finally to verify whichever pages are related to our subject.
After the consultation, he should show the user all the coincidences that it has found,and we can access to all of them

WHAT CAN I DO A SEARCH…

In order to make a search in anyone of the existing finders in Internet, simply we will have to access to the page in which the finder resides and to write in the text picture that will appear in this page that is what we want to look for:
Another option offered in many finders is the one to access to a list of information classified by subjects, using a hierarchic structure in form of directories where, with tree structure, they will be grouped all the matters of a subject in common. This one is rather a selective search, in that we will be finding the information classified of a much more precise way, according to we are pressing in the different connections.
The danger of this system is when we do not know very clearly what we looked for, we can lose, to find something that calls our attention and to finish in a site at which we had not though to arrive.

ADVANCED SEARCH

One always says that in Internet “it is possible to be found of everything “,but it is also a great disadvantage because there is a enormous amount of information as a consequence it is difficult, without aid, to find something of a concrete subject.
In order to facilitate the search, a kind of programs has been developed that work everywhere, and you can access itself as another normal work web: they are the finders.
The finders appear us as “pages of Web” and they have mainly two forms to work well differentiated:
a)firstly, there are a screen where we will introduce the key words related to the subject that interests us, later we will choose the type search (a logical AND of the introduced words, a OR, etc.) and finally we will press in the button with the word "Search" (or something similar). In a short moment (or not so short, because it depends on the saturation of the line and the speed of the finder).Then , we will appear a list with several directions and a small summary on which we will be able to find in them what we need (the normal thing is that they appear in groups of about 20).
b)In second hand, we will find a classified menu of subjects, which we will access and in consequence to get our “objective of search” search.

ANOTHER CLASS OF FINDERS

In addition to these finders whose main function is look for “terms in pages Web” , there are also other finders to look for e-mail directions (not always they find) and to look for in last and present articles of news, quite interesting things.
Independently on the form to display the information, the efficiency of the finders will not only depend of the amount of data (as large as a data base) but on the method that they use to organize the information and to make the search.
They exist multitude of finders, but of among them …I think there are the more important .THE SELECTION HAS BEEN DONE BY www.baquia.com, “the users preference”(article).
