The good news about the Internet and its most visible component, the World Wide Web, is that there are hundreds of millions of pages available, waiting to present information on an amazing variety of topics. The bad news about the Internet is that there are hundreds of millions of pages available, most of them titled according to the whim of their author, almost all of them sitting on servers with cryptic names. When you need to know about a particular subject, how do you know which pages to read? If you're like most people, you visit an Internet search engine. \nInternet search engines are special sites on the Web that are designed to help people find information stored on other sites. There are differences in the ways various search engines work, but they all perform three basic tasks: \n\n\nThey search the Internet -- or select pieces of the Internet -- based on important words. \nThey keep an index of the words they find, and where they find them. \nThey allow users to look for words or combinations of words found in that index. \nEarly search engines held an index of a few hundred thousand pages and documents, and received maybe one or two thousand inquiries each day. Today, a top search engine will index hundreds of millions of pages, and respond to tens of millions of queries per day. In this article, we'll tell you how these major tasks are performed, and how Internet search engines put the pieces together in order to let you find the information you need on the Web.

He kept it up about 5 years\nbefore passing it to me in January 1999, when it became apparent he was\ntoo busy with other projects (Internet Tourbus, writing, etc.) to\ncontinue maintaining it.\n\nIn October 1997 I had taken over the moderator duties of the ACCMAIL\nmailing list (which is used to further develop ideas expressed in this\nFAQ) and started a web page based on this FAQ. I guess he figured I was\nthe logical person to take over the FAQ. Hmmm!\n\nSo there you go.\n\n\nHow to Access Internet Services by E-mail\n-----------------------------------------\n\nIf you don't have direct access to the Internet through your BBS or\nonline service, you're not alone.  Many of the world's countries with\nInternet connections have only e-mail access to this world-wide network\nof networks.\n\nBut if you think that sounds limiting, read on.  You can access almost\nany Internet resource using e-mail.  Maybe you've heard of FTP, Gopher,\nJughead, Usenet, Finger, Whois, Nslookup, Traceroute, and the World-Wide\nWeb but thought they were out of your reach because you don't have a\ndirect connection.\n\nNot so!  You can use simple e-mail commands to do all of this and much\nmore on the Internet.  And even if you do have full Internet access,\nusing e-mail services can save you time and money.  If you can send a\nnote to an Internet address, you're in the game.\n\nI encourage you to read this entire document first and then go back and\ntry out the techniques that are covered.  This way, you will gain a\nbroader perspective of the information resources that are available, an\nintroduction to the tools you can work with, and the best methods for\nfinding the information you want.\n\n\nRecent Changes To This Document\n-------------------------------\n\n10.2 web2mail signup address changed,ISPs be e-mail web page changed,\n      Webster dictionary lookup address changed,\n      ADD PDF CONVERSIONS BY EMAIL,\n      wwwfmail_pro@wwwfetch.com DEFUNCT, jiscmail address change,\n      translate@leo.org (German - English translation service) DEFUNCT\n      mailandnews.com DEFUNCT as of 28Feb02,\n      query@ncbi.nlm.

The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet.\nThe Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the Internet.

WWW is a system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. The documents are formatted in a language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that supports links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files. This means you can jump from one document to another simply by clicking on hot spots. Not all Internet servers are part of the World Wide Web.\n\nWhile, Internet is the vast collection of inter-connected networks across the world that all use the TCP/IP protocols

The Internet is a series of interconnected networks.  Those networks all share in common the use of TCP/IP.  Routers are employed to move data from one network to another.  A variety of agencies are involved that handle administration of the network numbers each network needs to make the Internet function.   At its most basic level, the Internet works because every computer that is connected to it has a unique IP number to identify it.  I've linked to the organization that provides IP number allocation for the US and a variety of other countries.\n\nOf course the Internet has many other services that are built on top of TCP/IP.  Many of these services were established through a Request for Comment (RFC) system, where innovators published specifications for other types of protocols or data transfers.  This standards process has been very important to the growth of the Internet.  For things like the world wide web, someone designed a protocol for way that web browsers and web servers could talk to each other (HTTP protocol) and if you google for HTTP RFC you'll find the original documents that were published that describe how HTTP should work.

The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents that runs over the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks.\n\nThe Web was first created around 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee working at CERN in Europe. As its inventor, Berners-Lee conceptualised the Web to be the Semantic Web where all its contents should be descriptively marked-up.\n\nASP- Active server Page\nJSP - Java script Page\nPHP - Hypertext Prepocrssor\nAre use for Dynamic web peages are also web technologies..

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web. The Internet was named as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2006.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others
