Lets us start our discussion with what is Search Engine?
Search Engine is internet based tool that searches an index of documents for a particular term, phrase or text specified by user.Other wise we say it is a software program that searches a database and reports information that is related to specific term.
Examples of Search Engines : Google, inktomi, altvista ,alltheweb and msn.
A Directory is website which looks just like a search engine but organised as a series of sections or categories under which appropriate sites are filled.so Directory is divided into specific categories and sub categories.
Examples of Directories : yahoo, dmoz.org, gimpsy.
So the main basic purpose of Search Engine & Directory is "to help people find websites of interest to them".
Let us discuss the what is difference between Search Engine and Directories:
1.Search Engines are run by robots where as Directories run by human Editors.
2.Search Engines are free to get listed in and they never charge for it.where as some directories are free and some will charge money for each submission.
3. Search Engines are more popular and used because of their convenience.
All people have do is just type a keyword in search engine relevant sites come up.
vs
Directories are less popular because of their way of organizing data. In Directories we have to go through the specific categories and sub categories.
4.Search Engines some times disorganized when someone visits a website.but directories always have listings grouped together by topic.
