Day 13: Search Engines

Search engines have programs called spiders that crawl the internet to bring back websites to a cache. This is the collection of hits a search engines draws from when a search is made. Depending on the keywords in a search box, results will be different from search engine to search engine. This makes me wonder, if I use the same keywords in several search engines, how successful will I be locating different information? Most likely yes because the facts are search engines can

1) only offer results from what it has and 
&

2) only offer results based on what it interprets.

For example, if the search word is "books" this bookshelf (search engine) would offer these books. But if the search word is "Jane Austin books", the bookshelf would be empty (search engine would say there are no results found) because all the books on this shelf are by Alex Huxley.

Books on a shelf show what's available.

In addition, if the search term "books" is used, the search engine can interpret the meaning. In the case below, the search engine offer a book sculpture and a check-out counter made of books were among the results.

Etsy has several book sculptures. 

Book check-out counter.

   









These images prompts me to wonder how books of days be use with recycled materials? Old books can be new books or made into other objects entirely. Can a Book of Days be made from materials completely unrelated to books or reading?
