This page goes over a few aspects that I found to be bothersome while doing research on internet search engines.
Bothersome Aspects of the Internet
- Some big name sites top searches for too many different related or even distantly related searches
- EX: Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity show up for almost every search that involves any type of travel even if they do not provide the particular method being searched for
- Information can be manipulated
- Information can be misleading
- Information can be outdated
- Sometimes hard to search for and pinpoint, very specific facts
- Some companies and services have very poor, hard to navigate websites
- In some cases you are forced to use biased information
- Some sites force the user to, for no apparent reason, register or input an email before looking at the contents
- Some websites don’t contain the information that they claim to in the search summary
