Talk:Search engines

The length of this article is about 1000 words which is great for a first draft and meets that requirement, but should be approximately 2500 for the final submission. The structure also follows the components of a good article, as it contains an introduction, body paragraphs, and references. The introduction briefly covers what a search engine is and how it retrieves information, providing valuable background information for the reader. The body paragraphs then go into detail about the history of search engines, and highlight specific companies such as Google, Yahoo, etc. which I thought was valuable as it provides examples that the audience is familiar with. For the final draft, I would recommend covering some of the ethical issues associated with search engines like personal privacy and information bias. The references are listed at the bottom of the page, and they all seem to be reliable sources. Although the article has not yet discussed the ethical issues in detail, it is clear from the introduction that it will cover topics regarding privacy, censorship, and security. In order to better understand these issues, I recommend explaining what they are and why they are important when thinking about how it affects users. The article does remain unbiased throughout, and reports on issues objectively. All of the information thus far does not contain any personal opinions, only factual details about search engines and specific companies, which are supported by the sources listed. This is especially important to continue assuming that the article will begin to explain certain ethical issues potentially about these companies, so I would definitely ensure that the sources are not biased in any way.
