engines these days are moving to a hybrid-based model. Examples of hybrid
search engines are:
Yahoo (www.yahoo.com)
Google (www.google.com)
Most of the crawler based search engines like Google basically uses crawlers as
a primary mechanism and manual screening (Directories) as a secondary
mechanism.

Metacrawlers
Metacrawlers are search engines that take results from all the other search

engines and combine them into one large listing. (www.metacrawler.com)

How to Search the Web

To perform a search, you'll need to launch a web browser, navigate to a search
engine in the web browser, type one or more keywords—also known as search
terms—then press Enter on your keyboard.

As said earlier, Google is the most popular search engine because it's the most
effective at finding what you're looking for. On average, it produces more
relevant results than Yahoo or Bing, and it's better at organizing and filtering
them. For this reason, I will focus on Google in this tutorial.

Search and Address Bars

Your browser's search bar is probably set to Google by default. If it’s not set,
you can easily type in the website URL (http://google.com) and press Enter key.

Most browsers also allow you to perform a web search directly from your
address bar, although some have a separate search bar next to the address bar.
Simply type your search terms and press Enter to run the search.
