Pract 6

This week, we were suppose to evaluate the effectivenes of searching through the invisible web as compared to using other search facilities. The site that I would be using is Complete Planet.



This is the main site of Complete Planet:

As you can see, the site has numerous topics that range from Environment to Law. We can search for what we are looking for by clicking on the topic that is closest to what we are finding. My search topic is impact of cyber-bullying on youth. The topic that is closest to my search is Computing and Internet. However, instead of returning a list of result, I got an error. It shows that the site is not updated frequently or it was down for that particular day.

Even so, I feel that invisible web is best used for finding articles such as jobs vacancies or travel promotions. This are information that we are unable to find on normal search engines. However, I feel that it is not useful when we are searching for a particular topic as the list of result is small and might not necessarily be what you are searching for.
