INTERNET, INTRANET,

EXTRANET
 Internet
Internet is a clustered system of inter
related computer networks which uses a
standard internet protocol or transmission
control protocol network. It is a global network
which can be used by the public, private and
organizational network users. It carries a
massive range of informational resources and
data in form of HTTP(Hyper Text Markup
Language) documents and applications through
World Wide Web.
Intranet
Intranet is a computer network system in
which a specific organizational systems share
information, computing services and operating
systems with each other by using an Internet
(IP)Technology. This term basically refers to the
network of a specific organization. you can also
says it a private network. Authenticated users of
the organization can access the database system,
search engines, directory and can distribute
documents and workflow.
Extranet
"Extra," for example, refers to anything
that is crucial to your business, yet exists
outside of it — such as clients, vendors, and
suppliers.
An extranet is basically a private network
designed specifically to allow these individuals
(clients, vendors, suppliers, partners, etc.) to
communicate with you and your employees in
a closed digital workspace.
 Extranets serve an extremely
important role, as they allow for private
communication, collaboration, knowledge
sharing, document sharing, and data
transfer between organizations.
 Differences:
1. First difference between all is a matter of
availability. Internet is a global network system and
is available to all while Intranet and Extranet are
available to limited inside and outside users of the
organization.
2. Intranet and Extranet are more secure than
Internet because having Intranet or Extranet
network system means organization has created a
firewall against outsiders. Accessing any
information on Internet is not much difficult today.
3. General public is the user of Internet so it can
be called as public network while business
persons and organization are the users of Intranet
and Extranet and can be called as private
networks.
4. Internet can be access through without having
user account. While user account is the first
important condition in case of Intranet and
Extranet.
5. Internet has no hard and fast policies while
there is a complete organization policy behind
the setup of Intranet and Extranet.
SEARCH ENGINE:
MEANING; TYPES;
EXAMPLES
Search Engine
Search engines are programs that search
documents for specified keywords and returns
a list of the documents where the keywords
were found. A search engine is really a general
class of programs, however, the term is often
used to specifically describe systems like
Google, Bing and Yahoo! Search that enable
users to search for documents on the World
Wide Web.
Web Search Engine
Typically, Web search engines work by
sending out a spider to fetch as many
documents as possible. Another program, called
an indexer, then reads these documents and
creates an index based on the words contained
in each document. Each search engine uses
a proprietary algorithm to create its indices
such that, ideally, only meaningful results are
returned for each query.
Common types of Search Engine
• Local (or offline) Search Engine
• Metasearch Engine
• Blog Search Engine
Local (offline) Search Engine

offline search engine is designed to be used
for offline PC, CDROM or LAN searching usage.

local search engine used if the author wanted
to distribute the Web site on CD or DVD.
Examples of which is Opengenus.
 Opengenus– the World’s first Offline
Search Engine that helps you to search code for
any algorithm or data-structure in your favorite
language in seconds.

engines and then combines the results that are
received from all. In effect, the user is not using
just one search engine but a combination of
many search engines at once to optimize Web
