What is a search engine? Wikipedia explains it this way: A search engine refers to a system that automatically collects information from the Internet and provides it to users for querying after certain sorting. The information on the Internet is vast and disorderly. All information is like small islands in the vast ocean. Web links are the criss-crossing bridges between these islands. Search engines draw a clear picture for users. Information map for users to consult at any time.
This is the mission of search engines to collect, classify, and rank the messy information through certain algorithms and rules, and then present the most ideal results in front of users. It’s hard to imagine what the Internet would be like without search engines, and it’s even harder to imagine how we would face the Internet without search engines. According to a survey, the first web page that 90% of people open when surfing the Internet is a search engine, because more people go online to find useful information rather than browsing aimlessly. For example, if you need to find information about "blood replenishment", you will definitely search on a search engine and filter out the information that is useful to you, instead of directly logging into a website like www.cooltvb.cn. First, you I don’t know such a website at all; secondly, I can find more information than this website on search engines.
From this point of view, as the most important part of the interaction between the Internet and users, almost everyone needs search engines. However, the demand for search engines is different from person to person, and the attitude towards search engines also varies from person to person. Varies. Therefore, while search engines continue to evolve in the direction of satisfying more users, two types of people have emerged - those who use search engines and those who play with search engines.
People who use search engines regard search engines more as a tool that indexes information and provides relevant results. Since it is a tool, there is no distinction between good and evil in search engines. When such users choose which search engine, they will pay more attention to what the search engine brings to them. The more complete and direct the results will determine their choice. . Good and evil are not their concern, practicality is their pursuit. If he is a user of Baidu, even if he hears about Baidu's bidding ranking shady, they will remain indifferent and "go his own way"; even if someone tells him that some of Baidu's search results are paid links, they will still "remain unmoved" because Baidu Give them what they need; even if Google comes, www.chaojinvsheng.net.cn comes, even if a search engine with a better reputation is pushed to them, they will still remain the same. Sometimes, we have to say that these people are too rational.
People who play search engines. In the eyes of these people, search engines are no longer just a tool for obtaining information. When they are deeply satisfied with the results of the search engine, they will also gradually like the company behind the search engine, the culture of that company, and even every move, word and deed of that company. Gradually, as time goes by and their familiarity deepens, they will even fall in love with everything about this company, and they will be happy and sad with it. Because emotions are added to search engines, in addition to the technology and results of search engines, what affects these users' choices is that any disturbance may become a reason for them to abandon their current search engines. If they knew that Baidu manipulated the bidding rankings, they would not hesitate to invest in other search engines; when they saw many media negative reports about Google, in addition to being disappointed, abandoning Google was their "only choice" ". However, because most of them are Geeks, if they think it is useful, they often prefer to spread the word of mouth and attract more people to use it, in order to gain more recognition.
In fact, there is a third type of people. They not only have the paranoia of "people who use search engines", but also have the sensibility of "people who play with search engines". It's just that these kinds of people are very few.
But from the perspective of search engines, no matter what type of user, there are benefits. When a search engine develops steadily, people who play search engines will be the most active category of search engine users; when a search engine is in deep trouble, those who are persistent, almost paranoid and rational in using search engines will became mainstream.
So, which category do you fall into?
