Directory may refer to: Directory (file systems), a way of organizing files and other directories Directory (databases), a large collection of information primarily for reading. Directory services, a software application for organizing information about a computer network's users and resources For webmasters, the major search engines are the most important places to be listed because they can potentially generate so much traffic. For searchers, well-known, commercially-backed search engines generally mean more dependable results. These search engines are more likely to be well maintained and upgraded when necessary, keeping pace with the ever-growing Web. The search engines are all excellent choices to start with when searching for information. Google provides the option to find more than web pages, however. From the top of the search box on the Google home page (Google OneBox), you can easily seek out images, videos, maps (local search) and news from across the Web, or you can perform product searching. The “more” link provides access to blogs, books, froogle, groups and patents, etc. In addition to Google's unpaid editorial results, the company also operates its own advertising programs. The cost-per-click AdWords program places ads on Google as well as some of Google's partners. Similarly, Google is also a provider of unpaid editorial results to some other search engines.

Launched in 1994, Yahoo is the Web's oldest "directory," a place where human editors organize web sites into categories. A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system, such as on the World Wide Web, inside a corporate or proprietary network, or in a personal computer. The search engine allows one to ask for content meeting specific criteria (typically those containing a given word or phrase) and retrieves a list of items that match those criteria. This list is often sorted with respect to some measure of relevance of the results. Search engines use regularly updated indexes to operate quickly and efficiently. Without further qualification, search engine usually refers to a Web search engine, which searches for information on the public Web. Other kinds of search engine are enterprise search engines, which search on intranets, personal search engines, and mobile search engines. Different selection and relevance criteria may apply in different environments, or for different uses.
