A Web search engine is a tool designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

What is the cost of running a search engine?
Q. I need to understand the various cost heads in running a search engine and the approximate running cost per month/per day involved. A idea on setup cost shall be wonderful. Please consider a very basic search engine like google providing only text search results as the basis.
Asked by Maneesh Bhati - Fri Apr 24 04:34:38 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends how big and popular your search engine is. If your planning on the next Google, get ready to spend millions daily on running it (then again, if you were to start the next Google, I'm sure a few million dollars is not much).

Please leave a reference to the website of the search engine, and try to only list ones that have not yet made thier initial public offering. Thank You, Jason.

A. Well I can't give you a name, but I'll bet it's a porn search engine. However GOOGLE is the standard, the only folks out there that can replace it is MicroSoft. Not sure they'll win .but I really don't care.

What is the absolute best online real estate search engine?
Q. I've looked at a number of search engines but they all seem to be lacking in the filter criteria. I would like to use a search engine that will let me search not only by the basics (bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.) but also by more specific things like type of house (exclude ranches) or amenities (2-car garage) etc. Any ideas?
