Re: [AI] Search Engines
Very informative indee. - Original Message - From: "Thanislas" To: Cc: Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 11:49 AM Subject: [AI] Search Engines Hi list Member! Just FYI. Using Search Engines to Find Information on the Web Search Engines Search engines on the World Wide Web are remotely accessible programs that let you do keyword searches for information on the Internet. There are several types of search engines and searches may cover titles of documents, URL's, headers, or full text. Keep in mind that the results you get from one search engine may not match the results you get from another search engine. In fact, they are often different due to the way each search engine behaves. Therefore, it may actually be beneficial to use more than one search engine on a regular basis. In this section, we will briefly look at Google and Yahoo. Web pages are often dynamic and can change at any time. As a result, you may find that if either site changes, your experience with JAWS may be different than what is described. Google.com When you first go to the Google Web site there is a blinking cursor in an edit box where you can type the word or phrase that you are interested in. The first thing you need to do is press the ENTER key to go into Forms Mode with JAWS. Once you are in Forms Mode, you can then type in keywords that will define your search. After you have typed in some text, press ENTER to activate the Search button. Google only returns Web pages that contain all of the words in your query. If you find that you get too many "hits" or Web pages that match your search, you can enter more words in your search query to narrow the choices. Using good keywords gives you better results. Be as specific as you can. For example, a search for the keyword "musicians" will yield far more results than a search for the keywords "Elvis Presley." You do not need to include "and" between terms, but the order in which you type your keywords will affect the search results. You can also search for a specific phrase by including words in quotation marks. Google searches are not case sensitive. You can also use the following items within your keywords for Google searches: . + (plus) sign. Causes Google to include common words or characters that Google normally might ignore, such as "where" and "how." If a common word is important in getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.) . - (minus) sign. Causes Google to exclude a word from your search. For example, "bass" can refer to fishing or music. You can exclude music-related hits by searching for "bass -music." (Be sure to include a space before the minus sign.) . ~ (tilde) sign. Causes Google to include synonyms of a particular keyword in the search. . OR searches are also supported. Use an uppercase OR between terms. The I'm Feeling LuckyT button takes you directly to the first Web page Google returned for your query. You will not see the other search results at all. For example, to find the home page for Stanford University, simply enter "Stanford" into the search box and choose the I'm Feeling LuckyT button. Google takes you directly to www.stanford.edu, the official home page of Stanford University. To find listings for a US residence, type any of the following combinations into the Google search box: . first name (or first initial), last name, city (state is optional) . first name (or first initial), last name, state . first name (or first initial), last name, area code . first name (or first initial), last name, zip code . phone number, including area code . last name, city, state . last name, zip code Try a search for Freedom Scientific. Use this link to go to the Google Web site. On the results page, there are a couple of things you can do to get more information about the results of the search: . The statistics of your search are typically placed between the search edit box and the search results. You can press DOWN ARROW a few times to find this line or you can use the JAWS find command CTRL+F to look for the words "Personalized Results" and then read that line. For example, when testing this the search found "Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 37,700,000 for Freedom Scientific. (0.11 seconds)." This can be useful if you need to narrow the search. . The items found as a result of your search are placed on the page as both links and headings. You can press the navigation quick key H to move quickly among the headings that match your search. Since they are also links, you can press ENTER to activate them and move to those Web pages of interest. . Below each heading (and link) that match yo

[AI] Search engines to track tax evaders
Search engines to track tax evaders Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said innovative search engines were being created to mine information and unearth tax evaders. Speaking at the inauguration of the first Large Taxpayers Unit, Chidambaram said limited information was coming in the way to reach tax evaders but it would change. A group of professionals was working on several innovative search engines, which would help in gaining information leading to unearthing of tax evaders, he added. Chidambaram said a small number (of tax evaders) believe they are "clever" but that is no longer true. "We have more information than you (tax evaders) think we have." The minister said the government is planning to open LTUs in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata. Out of this, he expects one or two to commence operations before March. There are 830 entities eligible to join LTUs: 202 in Delhi, 282 in Mumbai, 132 in Chennai, 131 in Kolkata and 83 in Bangalore. He said the cost of tax collection was the lowest in India at 0.67 per cent, and he expected it to drop to 0.64 per cent this year. Chidambaram said it was necessary to bring about administrative and attitudinal changes and incorporate modern management principles into tax administration. "That's what we are trying to do".
