Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Search indexes, such as those used by directories like Yahoo or DMOZ, have real people review websites and manually categorize them. Search engines, on the other hand, use automated software algorithms to crawl and index websites. This means that search indexes are different from search engines because they involve human input in the indexing process. Options A and C are incorrect because the size and user-friendliness of search engines versus search indexes are not what distinguishes the two. Option D is incorrect because there are indeed differences between search indexes and search engines, as outlined above.
