Important-est lesson that I have learnt in UIR

There are lots of important stuffs I learn when I took up this UIR. But mainly, I have learnt how to use the different types of search utilities and what are the advantages of each search facility.

Let me recap again. There are three different kinds of serch facilities. They are Search Engines, Meta Search Engines, and Subject Directories. Most of you all know what Search Engines are. If you all don't know, then Yahoo and Google are examples of Search Engines. Mamma, MetaCrawler are examples of Meta Search Engines and Yahoo Directory and Google Directory are for Subject Directories.

Personally, I think Search Engines are the best among the other two search facilities. This is because Search Engines produced alot of hits, compared to the other two, and most of the results in the list are the intended result I needed.

Basically, I think everything that I have learnt in UIR is important. But there are few things that are of primary importance, like the ones I have mentioned above.
