Question

What is the difference between a search engine and a gateway?

A. A search engine uses machines to index webpages; a gateway is compiled by experts or librarians.
B. A search engine searches for images; a gateway searches for text only.
C. A search engine is simpler to use; a gateway requires the searcher to use scientific terms.
D. A search engine is free; a gateway requires payment for the subscription to the service.

Answer 1

The answer is A simply because a gate way is made up of librarians and a search engine was designed. =)

Answer 2

A search engine enters a database of web sites, but generally speaking, a searchengine does not normally provide answers straight away. You enter a search term and it brings up a number of pages which it thinks are applicable to your search
