Organic search results are listings on web search engine search engine results pages that appear because of their relevance to the search terms, as opposed to their being advertisements. In contrast, non organic search results may include pay per click advertising. Background The Google , Yahoo , and Bing search engine Bing search engines combine advertising and search results on their search results pages. In each case, the ads are designed to look similar to the search results, though differ in formatting enough for readers to make distinctions between organic results and ads, such as their background colour and or placement on the page.

Context date October 2009 Prospective search , or persistent search , is a method of Search engine technology searching on the Internet where the query is given first and the information for the results are then acquired. This differs from traditional, or retrospective , search such as search engines , where the information for the results is acquired and then queried. Comparison to retrospective search Retrospective search starts by gathering the information, indexing it, then letting users query the information. The results don t change until the index is rebuilt, often months apart. Prospective search starts with the user s queries, gathers the information in a targeted way, indexing it and then providing the results as they arrive. Sometimes Ping blog Ping Servers are used to gather notification of changes to websites so that the information received is as fresh as possible. Users can be notified in a number of ways of new results. Prospective search is well suited to queries where the results change over time, such as the current news, blog s and trends.

In computer science , a jump search or block search refers to a search algorithm for list computing ordered lists . It works by first checking all items L sub km sub , where math k in mathbb N math and m is the block size, until an item is found that is larger than the search key . To find the exact position of the search key in the list a linear search is performed on the sublist L sub k 1 m , km sub . The optimal value of m is n , where n is the length of the list L . Because both steps of the algorithm look at, at most, n items the algorithm runs in O n time. This is better than a linear search , but worse than a binary search . The advantage over the latter is that a jump search only needs to jump backwards once, while a binary can jump backwards up to log n times. This can be important if a jumping backwards takes significantly more time than jumping forward. The algorithm can be modified by performing multiple levels of jump search on the sublists, before finally performing the linear search . For an k level jump search the optimum block size m sub l sub for the l sup th sup level counting from 1 is n sup k l k sup . The modified algorithm will perform k backward jumps and runs in O kn sup 1 k 1 sup time. Implementation Algorithm JumpSeach Input An ordered list L , its length n and a search key s .

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 In computer science , a search tree is a binary tree data structure in whose nodes data values are stored from some ordered set , in such a way that in order traversal of the tree visits the nodes in ascending order of the stored values. This means that for any internal node containing a value mvar v , the values mvar x stored in its left subtree satisfy math x v , and the values mvar y stored in its right subtree satisfy math v y . Each subtree of a search tree is by itself again a search tree. Search trees can implement the data type of finite multiset s. The advantage of using search trees is that the test for membership can be performed efficiently provided that the tree is reasonably balanced, that is, the leaves of the tree are at comparable depths. Various search tree data structures exist, several of which also allow efficient insertion and deletion of elements, which operations then have to maintain tree balance. If the multiset being represented is immutable, this is not an issue. Search trees can also implement associative array s by storing key value pairs, where the ordering is based on the key part of these pairs. In some kinds of search trees the data values are all stored in the leaves of the tree. In that case some additional information needs to be stored in the internal tree nodes to make efficient operations possible. Examples Some examples of search tree data structures are AVL tree s, Red black tree s, splay tree s and Tango Trees which are instances of self balancing binary search tree s Ternary search tree s, in which each internal node has exactly three children B tree s, commonly used in databases B tree s, like B trees but with all data values stored in the leaves van Emde Boas tree s, very efficient if the data values are fixed size integer s.

The Search Bloc Bloque de B squeda was a Special Operations unit of the National Police of Colombia Polic a Nacional de Colombia . History The Search Bloc was created in 1992 by then President of Colombia Cesar Gaviria . Search Bloc officers were assembled with the sole objective of the arrest apprehension of drug lord Pablo Escobar and his associates. Its original commander was Colonel Hugo Martinez. The members of Search Bloc received training from the Special Forces United States Army U.S. Army s Special Forces and were specially selected for being impervious to police corruption from the drug cartels. Throughout its mission, Search Bloc faced many obstacles such as a spy within the group, allegations of collaboration with the anti Escobar vigilante groups such as Los Pepes , which would have included vigilantism within Search Bloc pertaining to suspicious deaths of Escobar s subordinates. Escobar was killed on December 2, 1993 in a shootout with members of Search Bloc. After dismantling the Medellin Cartel , Search Bloc was transferred to Cali to find and shut down the structure of the Cali Cartel . Search Bloc was revived in 2004 to root out cocaine and heroin traffickers in the southwest of Colombia. The mission of the new Search Bloc was to take apart the Norte del Valle Cartel Norte del Valle cartel and arrest its leader, Diego Le n Montoya S nchez .

In computer science and artificial intelligence , combinatorial search studies search algorithms for solving instances of problems that are believed to be hard in general, by efficiently exploring the usually large solution space of these instances. Combinatorial search algorithms achieve this efficiency by reducing the effective size of the search space or employing heuristics. Some algorithms are guaranteed to find the optimal solution, while others may only return the best solution found in the part of the state space that was explored. Classic combinatorial search problems include solving the eight queens puzzle or evaluating moves in games with a large game tree , such as reversi or chess . A study of computational complexity theory helps to motivate combinatorial search. Combinatorial search algorithms are typically concerned with problems that are NP hard .

Unreferenced date December 2009 A search coil is a device for measuring Eye movement sensory eye movement using coil s that are embedded into a tightly fitting contact lens or a rubber ring that adheres to the human eye eye . In animal studies, the search coil may be surgically implanted into the sclera of the eye. Alternating magnetic field s are generated by magnets positioned around the eye. Through electromagnetic induction , Current electricity electric currents are generated in the search coils. The polarity and amplitude of the current generated varies with the direction and angular displacement of the eye. By measuring these values, the position of the eye can be determined. Search coils can be applied to one or both eyes. In order to detect eye orientation in more than one dimension e.g. up down vs. left right , multiple magnets oriented orthogonal ly to each other may be used. Each magnet generates a field using a different frequency, allowing the readings from the search coil to be analyzed by computer to determine displacement in multiple dimensions. Additionally, a second search coil can be added to measure Torsion tensor torsional rotation. A more crude search coil also called exploring coil is also used in laboratory experiments in schools to measure the magnetic field in a certain region of space. In this case the search coil consists of a simple wire coil or solenoid connected to a sensitive ammeter or galvanometer . The coil is placed in the magnetic field to be measured and quickly withdrawn to a region of space with a negligible magnetic field. As the search coil moves the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes. This induces a current in the coil which can be registered on the galvanometer . Since induced current is directly proportional to rate of change ... current measured by the ammeter is proportional to the magnetic field math mathbf B math .
