Text Search Engines – How Does It Work

Search engines are a common thing that is used whenever the internet is accessed. The most common search engines are free ones like: Google Search and Yahoo! Search. These engines are called internet search engines. They work on the principle of looking for keywords in different articles or files all over the World Wide Web. There are also search engines in your own personal computers. Most of the time they are general search engines and they are capable of looking for all sorts of files, from documents to music and pictures. These search engines can easily be converted into text search engines by specifying the category that you want to search in.

This type of search engine is most of the time helpful, but it does have its failings. For example, search engine operating on Microsoft Outlook are unable to look up files that are attached documents to emails. For these kinds of searches, you need the help of some Text Search Engine Software that can do them faster and much more meticulously than the regular search engine that your computer is equipped with.

A text search engine is a sub type of the general search engines. Instead of searching for everything that comes up as relevant to the keywords entered, text search engine – as the name imply, focuses on the searching computers and other file storage systems for text that correspond to the data entered by the user. A text search engine works by not only looking up the titles of the files that you search through, but it looks at the document’s whole body of text. This way, if you do not have the exact title of the document you are looking for, you can just look up some keywords that are present in the searched article.

A more in depth look on the workings of a Text Search Engine reveals Preprocessing, indexing, stemming and more. These procedures help make built in search engines as well as downloaded ones work. Most of these programs need to take root before they can function efficiently. Taking root involves the program breaking down into desired units that are easily retrievable. It then proceeds to Isolate and tag document pieces. It moves on to the process of indexing documents by identifying those that can be considered to fall into the same category.

It then deletes any STOP WORDS, stop words are terms that are deemed to be of little value to the search. If not removed, these stop words can considerably slow down the search process. After these procedures, the program proceeds to index the terms and makes itself ready for use.

Some downloadable Text search engines include: DtSearch Desktop Spider, Lucine, HotBot Desktop, Blinkx, NEO Pro, and others. These text search engines work well and quickly because they have been programmed for such jobs. When you are attempting to look up files in a Microsoft Outlook, any of these search engines would do great. There are also text search engines that are available for download, two of these programs are Lookout Desktop as well as Google Desktop. These programs will search your computer efficiently and quickly.

Mesothelioma – The 3 Main Types

In general, mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer. Different types of mesothelioma are distinguished between by where the cancer is growing. Pleural mesothelioma, the most common, accounting for 75% of all mesothelioma cases, is where cancerous cells develop on the lining of the lungs. The next most common form of mesothelioma is peritoneal mesothelioma and this is where cancerous cells grow on the peritoneum which is the lining of the abdomen. Pericardial mesothelioma, the least common major form of mesothelioma, makes up roughly 5% of all mesothelioma cases. This is where malignant cancer cells grow on the lining of the heart.

All three of these forms of mesothelioma are caused by asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that was discovered around the 1860s. Due to its highly useful property of being fireproof, asbestos was used greatly in construction in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. It was not until the early 1960s when the severe health hazards that asbestos causes were discovered, that asbestos stopped being used. When exposed to asbestos with insufficient protection a person will breathe in tiny asbestos fibres which are suspended in the air. These fibres pass into the respiratory system until they become lodged in the lining of the lungs. Over time, an accumulation of these asbestos fibres in the lungs can cause pleural mesothelioma. Asbestos fibres may also pass into the lymphatic system and be transported to either the lining of the abdomen or the tissue surrounding the heart. This may cause either peritoneal mesothelioma or pericardial mesothelioma.

In terms of symptoms, the three main types of mesothelioma have some symptoms in common with each other. These symptoms are usual of all three types: chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, coughing up blood, vomiting, nausea, weight loss and loss of appetite. An additional symptom of pericardial mesothelioma is palpitations.

There are a few treatments for all types of mesothelioma but none of these have a high success rate. The effectiveness of the treatment depends on how early and how aggressively the cancer is treated. If the cancerous cells are treated when they have fully matured and developed then it is unlikely that treatment methods will be successful. Treatment methods include chemotherapy which is the use of drugs to kill the cancer, radiation therapy which uses a radiation dosage to kill off cancerous cells and surgery which attempts to gain long term control over the cancer by removing a large portion of malignant cells. These treatment methods can be combined in the form of dual therapy.

Common Misconceptions about Astrology

There are many common misconceptions about astrology in the Western world. Astrology in America has been turned into a form of entertainment and is not taken seriously by many people. However, the truth is that there is a lot of truth and usefulness in the art of astrology. Here are the three most common misconceptions about astrology, and the truth behind the myth.

Common Misconception about Astrology Number One: Horoscopes do not work because astrology is bunk.

The Truth: Horoscopes are entertainment created based on limited aspects of the true study of astrology. Horoscopes are created using the basic sun signs and the influences on them from planetary movements and alignments. Since not every person with a particular sun sign have the same astrological chart, horoscopes are rarely accurate for more than a handful of people.

Real astrology predictions are made by using individual astrological information combined with current astrological influences. These in depth astrology readings are very difficult and complex, and cannot be created reliably on a mass basis. Therefore, horoscopes serve as a basis for entertainment and what may happen based on sun sign alone.

Common Misconception about Astrology Number Two: Astrology is an ancient practice that holds no place in reality, such as Greek and Roman tales of Hercules and gods and goddesses.

The Truth: Astrology has been practiced since pre-historic times. There have been maps of the stars and other evidences found that astrology was practiced by the Egyptians, the Incans, and the Aztecs. Additionally, China and India have long practiced astrology and used its predictions in their daily lives for millennia, and continue to do so.

It is even recently understood that astrology played a large role in the Christian story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The three wise men used astrological phenomena rather than an actual star to discern the events that were about to occur and the fact that they would occur in the land of Judah. Based on this new found information, it is becoming more difficult for people to dismiss astrology as myth and legend.

Common Misconception about Astrology Number Three: Real astrology is not practiced in the United States.

The Truth: Much of the astrology practiced in the United States is not a real study of astrology and is for entertainment purposes only, such as horoscopes. However, there are still real astrology experts in America. While they are few compared to the general consensus of astrologists, and may be difficult to find, there are many of them out there.

The best places to find real astrologists in the United States are in communities where diversity has not driven out the New Age population. True astrologists and New Agers can be found in small communities of large cities and at what is sometimes called “enlightenment festivals.” There are also New Age and occult book stores and other shops where you may find real astrology experts. Additionally, you can find real astrologists at pagan festivals and psychic fairs held throughout America at various times of the year.
