Exploring Search Engines
1. Visit the Web Design Chapter #1 Online Companion Web page (scsite.com/web3e/ch1/) and click Google, Ask.com, Windows Live Search, and Mamma in the Your Turn links.
2. Perform a keyword search using each of the four search tools using the same keyword or phrase of your choice. Compare the search results returned by each search engine.
3. Write a report that answers the following questions:
a. Are the Web pages listed in the search results lists the same or different?
b. How do the search results from the Mamma metasearch engine differ from the search results returned by the other three search engines.
c. How can you use a similar exercise to identify appropriate meta tag keywords and descriptive Web page titles when planning a Web site?
