ELECTRONIC SEARCH ENGINE

• A software system that is designed to search for


information on the World Wide Web.

• The search results are generally presented in a line of


results often referred to as search engine results.
Web Browser
The web browser is an example of application
software that is developed to retrieve and view the
information from web pages or HTML files present
on the web servers.
(Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox,
Opera, and Apple Safari.)
Electronic Search Engine VS. Web Browser
Let's make it clear:
A browser is a piece of software that retrieves
and displays web pages; a search engine is a
website that helps people find web pages from
other websites.
