Search engines are like power houses of the World Wide Web, returning number of responses to number of queries every day satisfying people. Search Engine has been the key utility of internet. There exists many search engines in the world like Google search engine, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Baidu, Soso, Naver, Yandex, Seznam etc. Number of search engines in the world kept on linearly increasing at one instant, but the only search engine that went through bricks and succeeded in being highly used today is-Google Search Engine. To get compete many search engine tried to incorporate flexibility and facilities along with security, but Google search engine turned to be at top in terms of all. DuckDuckGo " s unique features like Zero-click information, category pages, ambiguous keyword detection, simpler links, less spam and many others have made it popular among users. Nowadays most of the Linux based system is using DuckDuckGo as default search Engine. It was also introduced in hardware such as ' Raspberry pi' as default. It work more efficiently on Raspbian(A raspberry pi Operating System). In this paper features of both search engines are analyzed. And based on that comparative analysis of both search engines is being done in this paper.
—Semantic search engines (SSE) are more efficient than other web engines because in this era of busy life everyone wants an exact answer to his question which only semantic engines can provide. The immense increase in the volume of data, trad itional search engines has increased the number of answers to satisfy the user. This creates the problem to search for the desired answer. To solve this problem, the t rend of developing semantic search engines is increasing day by day. Semantic search engines work to extract the best answer of user queries which exactly fits with it. Trad itional search engines are keyword based which means that they do not know the mean ing of the words which we type in our queries. Due to this reason, the semantic search engines super pass the conventional search engines because they give us mean ingful and well-defined informat ion. In this paper, we will discuss the background of Semantic searching, about semantic search engines; the technology used for the semantic search engines and some of the existing semantic search engines on various factors are compared.
Web surfing for various purposes has become a habit of humans. Searching for information from the Internet today has been made easier by the widely available search engines. However, there are many search engines and their number is increasing. It is of considerable importance for the designer to develop quality search engines and for the users to select the most appropriate ones for their use. The Information quality linked through these searches is quite irregular. There are fair chances that the retrieved results are irreverent and belong to an unreliable source. In fact, most search engines are developed mainly for better technical performance and there could be a lack of quality attributes from the customers' perspective. In this paper, we first provide a brief review of the most commonly used search engines, with the focus on existing comparative studies of the search engines. The paper also includes a survey conducted of 137 respondents where the identified user expectations will be of great help not only to the designers for improving the search engines, but also to the users for selecting suitable ones. The objective behind this study was also to find the reason behind poor precision and recall of so many available search engines. The study finally aims to enhance user search experience.
Vadodara has secured its name in the list of 100 Smart cities under the Smart City Mission of Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India launched in June 2015. Sustainable and Smart city aims at long term high tech solutions. Cities have turned into concrete jungles due to advent of machines and over population. Vishwamitri river has acted as an urban spine to the city even though it's not a perennial as it divides it geographically into eastern and western region. While the river under design consideration i.e VMC area is 16.5 kms. The average width of the river is 500m while its depth is 8-10 mt. The 25km stretch of river passing through the city is the only river in the country having 206 crocodiles living in the urban context. A socioeconomic survey was conducted for deriving the design proposal which included 25% of stake holders including ages , workers, slum dewellers , 50% of experts including VUDA and VMC officers. The rest 25% included the college and institute heads and faculty opinions. Even a movie is made showering the existing profile of the river. The state has cleared 66-acre plot for developing the crocodile park and a garden to boost the natural ecological balance and sustainable tourism. This paper envisages the Development to create a 'Cleaner, sustainable, diverse and integrated' river front for Vadodara to add flavor to the dead urban dense fabric. The river has become largely inaccessible from the city, and is no longer seen as an asset even though it has got potential to generate employment, education, recreation, business and provide inclusive growth. The first initiative will be to map the existing land use and propose the barrages to check the flow and accessibility of water for a sustainable development against seasonal flooding. Proposal for commercial development in the form of ratri bazaar, crafts centre, exhibition grounds, sports ground can add to the revenue for financial sustainability. The design proposal will provide new public spaces, heritage walk ways, botanical gardens, crocodile parks, exhibition grounds, promenades, footpaths and ghats along the riverbanks to add to the environmental and cultural sustainability. To promote walkability and cycle friendly environment larger blocks are broken into smaller ones. Paper focuses onto bringing a holistic urban innovation for the people of Vadodara. It will also talk about the volumetric guidelines, svp (special purpose vehicles), boosting of the recreational, commercial and green land use for a better sustainable futuristic urban planning.
Semantic based search engines are better than syntactic or key word based search engines as they have the ability to understand the meaning of the searched term and provide more specific data. We studied semantic (Hakia, Kosmix, Cognition, Lexxe, Swoogle) and syntactic (Google, Yahoo, Ask) based search engines and compared their search performance and analyzed them using specific queries. We also focused on some specific algorithms i.e. Page Rank algorithm, Weighted Page rank algorithm, Tag search algorithm.
Today information technology is developing rapidly and adopting application of IT has created a significant revolution in many fields including business. One of the emerging and promising technology that provide efficient means to access various types of data and information all over the world is Data mining which also helps in decision making. The Objective of this paper is to provide a cross platform for data cleaning, analysis and visualization. This tool helps data scientist to come up with a solution to big data related issues by analyzing the output and predicting the trends. This tool will run on all major platforms which will enable the user to analyze data at one's ease.
Research has shown that most website developers first build a website and only later focus on the ‘searchability’ and ‘visibility’ of the website. Companies spend large amounts of money on the development of a website which sadly cannot be indexed by search engines, is rejected by directory editors and which is furthermore invisible to crawlers. The primary objective of this dissertation is to compare and report on the impact of text-based versus graphic-based hyperlinks on website visibility. The method employed in the research was to develop two e-Commerce based websites with the same functionality, contents and keywords, however utilising different navigation schemes. The one website had all hyperlinks coded in text-phrases, while the other embedded the hyperlinks in graphics. Both websites were submitted to the same search engines at the same time. A period of eight months was allowed to ensure that the websites drew sufficient ‘hits’ to enable a comparative analysis to be conducted. Two industry standard website ranking programs were used to monitor how the two websites feature in the search engine rankings. Graphs as well as text-based reports produced by the ranking programs and the t-test were used to compare and analyse the results. Evidence based on the reviewed literature indicated that there are conflicting reports on the impact of text as opposed to graphic hyperlinks on website visibility. However, there is unsupported evidence that text hyperlinks achieved higher rankings than graphics-based hyperlinks. Although the ‘human website browsers’ find a certain amount of graphical aids conducive to easier navigation, ‘search engine crawlers’ find many of these same graphic aids impossible to index. The study supported that the graphic-based website ranked higher than the text-based website, which calls for a balance to be found between these two extremes. This balance would satisfy both ‘human website browsers’ and ‘search engine crawlers’. It is posited by this author that this dissertation provides website designers with the abilities to achieve such a balance.
