Search Engines for Retrieving Information

-Dr. Lalit Kumar

Everyone is comfortable searching for desired information from search engines. It is very easy to do and user-friendly. Anyone can learn with the trial and error method. The knowledge of the system is not required for using Google or other search engines. Anyone can access a large quantum of information with a single click with the help of a search engine.

Search Engine for Information

It depends upon the search abilities of the user, how effectively he/she finds out the information. Suppose I want material on Financial Management in Government, preferably in .pdf file. How I will search?

Using Search Engine for Seeking Specific Format of Files:

Privacy Concerns:

There are people, there are organizations that keep their exposure away from the internet for privacy concerns. The sensitive information is always not uploaded on the internet.
