Practical 4&5

Today activities on a bit part of my assignment 1, my topic is
Discuss the impact of the Integrated Resort (IR) on Singapore’s tourism industry.
I have different kinds of keyword such as impact on IR, Integrated Resort, singapore tourism industry etc. for my search.
I used 3 kinds of search method. Yahoo search, Meta search and yahoo directory search.
Each of this search engine gives me different result.

Yahoo search gives more number of hits and their sources are much more relevant to my keywords. The ranking of the display is from the most relevant to the least relevant sources.

Meta search gives less number of hits, lots of inrelevant sources and the ranking of display are not sorted accordingly.

Subject Directory are more complicated to use. After you search, it will give u a directory that link to one and another. However, subject directory have most of the common keywords categorize and group.
