| Directories and Indexes |
The directory is a type of search engine created and managed by human editors. In
directories, web sites are reviewed, summarized in about 25 words and placed in
different categories. The websites submitted are assessed by an editor and, after
approval, they are listed under subject categories. Users can perform a search
across a directory using keywords or phrases, or browse through the subject
listings. Best examples of directories are Yahoo and the Open Directory Project.
Drug information indexes are alphabetical or systematic arrangement of drug
information resources, used as a guide to the contents. The reason for using
indexes is to improve query performance.
