used for searching on the Internet was Archie (1990) was created at McGill University

MIT. Thereafter, many search engines came into use. There are a wide variety of Search
Engines across the Internet and help us to find the most accurate and relevant information

profile the special Search Engines which are also known as Topical or Vertical Search
