Authors

  • Fernanda Nahuz

Abstract

Analyses the use of search mechanisms in the WEB. Some aspects of these mechanisms are highlighted, such as: classification, recuperation, characteristics and limitations. World Wide Web (Web or WWW) arose with the advent of Internet which can be conceptualised as a virtual environment for information in the world of the electronic media. Navigation by homepages of the sites on the WEB has contributed to the rapid growth of Internet. The availability of documents, information, transactions, communication in multimedia are operations conducted by browsers such as Explore and Netscape which in turn function by means of Search Engines and instrumentalise the digital scenario which emerges from the electronic media to the screens, monitors of computers, linked together by the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol(TCP/IP).
