Abstract

Due to the enormous number of documents that Internet contains and the practical impossibility of achieving search exhaustivity throughout hyperlinks, it was necessary to design some search tools to facilitate retrieval. This article is structured in two parts. Firstly, it gives an introduction to the concept of search engines, their evolution in the recent history of Internet, their components, their procedures and a prospective classification, trying to solve the current terminological chaos. Second, their comparative advantages and disadvantages are analyzed, and some proposals for further effectivity are given. Finally, a comprehensive bibliography for further readings is suggested. (Author amended).
