Chris Nolan's Presentation

From Chris Nolan's presentation, I learned a few things about search engines and the amount of content floating around on the World Wide Web. I learned that search engines rank results by the location of the keywords in the website, such as near the top of the page where a title may be. They also rank results by the frequency of the keywords in the web page. I also learned about Google Scholar, where your search results only display scholarly references. This will be very useful for assignments where primary research and sources are required. Another interesting tidbit Mr. Nolan mentioned was the “deep web”. The deep web is all the search results that you really have to dig for to find. I will start going to the 3rd page and beyond to find exactly what I am looking for.
