Lesson 2--Directory Search Engines

 

Pretty much. There are actually two kinds of search engines. A directory search engine has people working for them. These people search the Web to find new web sites. If they are good web sites, they organize them into categories on their web server, which is the directory's computer.   
  Kinda like the card catalog at the library, right? I understand. 
Right. Click here to see a picture of how this works. Don't forget to click the  Back button on your browser to come back here!  
  Then I just click on the categories until I find what I'm searching for. Cool! So what's the second kind of search engine?
