FAQs » 19. What is the difference between a search engine and a directory?

Both are a database of websites; however a directory is divided into sections and sub-sections organised by subject categories such as ?��Ǩ?�Arts?��Ǩ��, ?��Ǩ?�Business?��Ǩ��, ?��Ǩ?�Shopping?��Ǩ�� etc. The websites are then listed alphabetically in each category, meaning those at the top of the list are not there on merit as with a search engine. A search engine does not have sub-sections and its results are listed according to the most relevant site as opposed to alphabetically.
