Difference between “search engine” and “portal"
Search Engine
Google, Bing, Yandex, Yahoo etc. are search engines. They
index millions of websites on the web. When we search on internet through any
browser then browser uses search engines to find the content we want. So, search engine is a program that searches
and identifies contents that related to keyword given by the user on the World
Wide Web.
It helps user to find the desired information. It allows us
to input any specific keyword or phrases and shows a list of items or content
which match those keywords.
Portal
Some of the most popular portals available on the World Wide
Web are facebook.com, gmail.com and twitter.com. Portal is smaller than search
engines. Portal is a private location on the internet. It is like a point of
access to the information available on the World Wide Web.
