Web Search–Google

Danny Sullivan, alerts us to a new section on the Google site. It’s aimed at Webmasters, might be of value to Google searchers. “Google Information for Webmasters” gives a solid overview about why pages may not be found using the search engine, a section on how Google ranks pages, and a bit on how the database is updated.

Web Search–Searching Direct From the Browser

“IE Bug Can Lead to Strange Search”
You’ve been advised. I’ve been a victim. From the article, “Internet Explorer is configured to load Microsoft’s own MSN search page whenever users click the browser’s search button or enter a wrong URL. But a small program embedded in a website or an e-mail can automatically change the system’s default settings to direct users to websites that they may prefer not to see. Not only are users being directed to odd search sites touting the benefits of work-at-home schemes and Internet gambling, some claim that every time they attempt to do a search or happen to enter an incorrect URL, they get pop-up windows with explicit advertising for hardcore pornography.”
