Search engine
The internet has become a vital part of human lives today. This is where people from around the world gather and share information about their tradition, culture, life, education or anything else that you can see around the world. News about the affair of other countries can be viewed through the internet. Just one click to their website and you can get anything from it. If you are looking for the news of your country while you are away, a simple input of their website to the web browser will do the trick. Almost every prominent entity of the world has their own official website in order to reach people  who really need of their information the most. But with the lower ones, particularly websites that are still newly established in the internet, it will take a while for them for the people to find their website. Depending on the content and how the developer created their website, their presence will be noticed sooner or later with the help of a search engine.
A search engine is a system in the internet designed to gather information based on the keywords that user has inputted. Search engines are in form of websites with a text field where the user places the keywords that will take him or her to the information they are looking for. With the hit of the Enter key or the click of the search button, a results page will appear with the topmost of the list the most relevant to its search. Most search engines place the most relevant returns at the first of the list until the least relevant. The websites that has reached the top ten are those close to the keywords searched by the user. The list is a link that will redirect the user to the website. These websites that have reached the top of the list has a very high presence in the internet.


Keywords are a group of words or a sentence based on the subject the user wants to gather information from. For example if a user wants to find information regarding foods that will cause constipation, they type the keywords 'foods that causes constipation' or reduce the number of keywords to 'foods, constipation' will bring you more results. The narrower your search keywords are, the closer you will get to the information you are looking for.
In turn the websites will do their best to place their rankings at the very top of the search. Every website do look like they are in competition and the most relevant information that are placed in their website on a particular subject, they closer they will get to the first page. A search engine will do its job by 'crawling' inside a website, finding the keywords that are relevant to the search. They have other work to do as well like the number of visitors per day and how rich their content is filled with the right keywords. That is why competitive websites hire SEOs to bring their websites to the top of the list.

Are you tired of doing the same thing over and over again? Have you thought of another form of entertainment that will get rid of your boredom? How about watching videos? Videos is another form of entertainment enjoyed by the majority of the population around the world. It provides almost every information viewers need. For example, a field reporter reporting about recent incidents near your neighborhood - if you are watching this on your TV, this is already called a video. Episodes of your favorite TV series is being aired weekly and the more the series progresses, the exciting the story gets and you do not want to miss even one. Documentaries about ancient cities, rare animals on the north and South Pole, situations about our neighboring countries, etc. are also forms of videos. Any subject that you are interested in is now in a form of videos, even classes are now made into videos. But what if you missed an episode of your favorite TV series or there is a certain documentary that you want to watch but there is no DVD or Blu-ray available in your local area? Today this is possible with the help of video search. Almost every video clips that you can see on your television screen can be now see in the internet and almost every video is free to watch.

One of the most popular video search engine to date is YouTube while others are named Metacafe and Veoh. They are not the only search engine videos that you can see on the web. The trick to finding videos that you are looking for is the same when you are acquiring information on a certain subject using search engines. Think about keywords that will match the video that you are trying to look for. If you can provide one, two or three keywords, the narrower your search will get. Do not be too specific with your keywords like making a sentence if you are not sure what you are looking for because it might not return anything or videos that are returned are not related to what you are looking for.

A popular TV series episode is sure to hit the first page returns but this depends on which video search website you are searching in. This is because of the copyright laws. The author of the video has every right to delete or report copyright infringement on a user who uploaded a video without permission though this is rarely a case seen because majority of those that upload these videos give credit to the authors.
Selected television channels has brought their shows into the video search as well only that they are only viewable in their website. Another catch to this is that the videos can only be viewed if you are a subscriber to their channel or that you are living within the area where the channel is located, most of the time viewable only within the country itself. But all this make things easier if you really want to view videos comfortably at your leisure.
