Technical Writing, COMM204
August 30, 2011

TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Dear Ms. ,

This submission is being addressed to you in order to complete the course requirement of a final project for the Summer 2011 Technical Writing/COMM204 class.

The topic of World Wide Web Search Engines was my choice because it is an area of interest that is commonly discussed in the business of Computer Information Technology. I am currently studying for my Associates Degree at Columbus State Community College in the field of Information Technology (IT); Network Administration, in order to pursue a career with my current employer; Battelle Biological Research Center. I currently hold a position of Report Publishing Specialist and cross-train/mentor as an IT Coordinator.

I began my research by narrowing down the top three most popular World Wide Web (Internet) search engines; Google, Bing, and Ask. My goal was to answer the following questions pertaining to search engines. * What search engines are available for download? * Which search engine provides the most reliable information? * What search engine provides the most security during searches and is the safest to use? * What are the available download methods for each search engine and their mobile compatibility? * Which search engine is the most user friendly?

I conducted my research utilizing the Internet search engines themselves and referencing multiple sources obtained through these sources.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please feel free to contact me at 1horse4me@earthlink.net. I look forward to receiving your feedback and final grade at the end of the quarter.
Thank you

    Industry Background Search engine companies haven’t been around for very long with most of them coming into existence in the mid 1990’s. Many of these companies are already gone or in a state of gobbling each other up to compete with the bigger companies. Yahoo seems to be the grandfather of the currently existing crop starting in 1994. The growth in Internet usage and the amount of data being made available has made accurately and quickly finding that data more important. The search companies and search engine strategies have become very important to webmasters and company marketing strategies due to the desire of companies to have their products and services appear at the top of the list and on the most used search sites. The methodologies that a company uses for searching is highly confidential. Some search companies get its search crawler data from Google, for instance Yahoo did this for a while and now AOLSearch is “enhanced” by Google. The companies earn their money in a variety of ways but primarily it is paid advertising that is the bread and butter of this industry. Google, Inc. Background Google Inc. has gone from literally a garage company started in 1998 by two Stanford University computer science graduate students, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to a forward thinking firm that employs over 10,000 people today. The two actually met in 1995 and began formulating their initial ideas on searching which they tried to sell. When no interest was garnered for it, they decided to form Google and presented their search methods at a World Wide Web conference in 1998 and by 1999 had $30 million in funding from a variety of means. Google went public in 2004 raising $1.6 billion. Google is so “big” it has become a new word in the English language meaning; to search for information on the Internet, esp. using the…

    As for a comparison of each search engine, I tend to prefer Google the most. The reasons why are quite extensive. For starters, even Microsoft themselves have admitted that they can’t keep up with the number of pages that Google has indexed. However it is worth noting that search engine optimizers, who tend to pollute search results, target Google more than Bing, so Bing’s organic search results can at times be better.…
