Search engine is a tool to find and locate sites and web pages whereas web directory is a catalog in which information (web pages) is stored according to their categories.

A online look for motor makes use of robots to index websites; while a listing uses human publishers to list sites. They are two different types of look for services that are often incorrectly confused with one another. Another difference between a online look for motor and a listing is that directories use people to personally add sites to their database.

A search Engine uses a program (or “spider”) that crawls through all the pages it comes across. Words on all those pages are analyzes and stored. When a searcher queries the search engine, the engine applies an algorithm to determine relevancy, searches its databases, and returns those documents in which the words are found. Alta Vista is a search engine. A directory is compiled by human beings. The human “editor” review listings, determine what they are about, and list them in an appropriate category, along with what they believe. Open directory project is a directory.
