AltaVistaリンク集

2004/10/06 Web Results are the most relevant web pages found by Yahoo! Search Technology in response to your search terms. Web Results are generated from the billions of web pages crawled and indexed by Yahoo! Search. The Yahoo! Search index is more than 99% populated through the free web crawl process. Results may also include links to sites that participate in the Content Acquisition Program (CAP). CAP enables content providers to submit web pages and content directly to Yahoo! for review and inclusion within the Yahoo! Search index through the Site MatchTM or Inktomi Search SubmitTM programs. Sites from both of these programs pay to be included in the search engine index, and those participating in Site Match also pay to be reviewed for relevance. Results may also include links to sites that participate in the AltaVista Express Inclusion Program. Sites from this program also pay to be included in the search engine index and reviewed for relevance. Participation in CAP or Express Inclusion has no bearing on placement or ranking in search results.

2004/10/05 Inktomi Search SubmitTM is being discontinued in conjunction with the launch of Site MatchTM. The AltaVista Express Inclusion program has also been discontinued. Legacy Express Inclusion customers will continue to receive distribution on the historical AltaVista network until their subscriptions expire. Search results will include links from the Search Submit program only through April 15, 2004.

2004/10/04 For popular searches, AltaVista provides relevant, high-quality results, called Shortcuts, from the invisible Web - sources that are not normally available to search engines. All shortcuts have an icon and gray labels naming their sources. Some Shortcuts are paid for by advertisers, while others may be paid for by AltaVista, which may pay partners for use of their content in Shortcuts. To see whether a shortcut is paid for by an advertiser, click the icon.

2004/10/03 Sponsor Results are sites that pay for placement in search results on terms that are relevant to their business. These listings are provided by Overture Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Yahoo!, and appear on AltaVista Search results pages.

You'll see Sponsor Results when they're relevant to the specific search terms you used. For example, if you search for "digital cameras," you'll see Sponsor Results for web sites that provide information about or sell digital cameras. The AltaVista Search results pages separate Sponsor Results from other results so you can tell them apart. For more information please see Sponsor Results or, if you are interested in participating in this program, please see Overture Advertising. Sponsored Matches are search results provided by paying advertisers. Sponsored Matches are provided by Overture, Inc., which generates highly relevant search results by allowing advertisers to bid for placement order based on specific search keywords. Overture is a leading provider of pay-for-performance search.

2004/10/02 When you type a query and click the Search button, AltaVista retrieves images that contain your search words in their file names, ALT text, nearby text and/or the page metatags.

When you click on an image thumbnail on an image search results page, you are taken directly to the Web page that contains that image. Usually, you should be able to see the image right away however, sometimes, you may have to scroll down the page to find it.

2004/10/01 When you type a query and click the Search button, AltaVista retrieves audio files that contain your search words in their file names, nearby text, page metatags and/or are embedded in the file.

When you click on a page URL on an Audio search results page, you are taken directly to the page that contains the audio file. Most audio files appear as text links, so it is important to remember the name of the audio file.

2004/09/30 AltaVista gathers news from over 3,000 worldwide sources. We receive news feeds from news sites like the New York Times or Forbes, and we crawl news sources ourselves.

AltaVista provides news search functionality in Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

You can also narrow your search by selecting a topic, a language, a region or country, a certain news source or a specific date range from the drop-down menus within the search box. You're able to drill down into even more specific refinement using two or three of these dimensions.

2004/09/29 When you enter a host name in the query field (www.redcross.org), AltaVista uses the host:[hostname] command to find pages that have that host name.

When you enter a host name in the query field, AltaVista uses the link:[URL] command to find pages that link to matching URLs. This feature works with a host name(www.redcross.org), part of a URL (www.redcross.org/services) or a complete URL (www.redcross.org/services/index.html).

Pages from the host you enter (www.redcross.org) are automatically excluded from your results using the -host:[hostname] command. If you want to see pages that link within your site, uncheck the box labeled "Don't return pages within this site."

2004/09/28 AltaVista invites you to search its digital content collection containing billions of Web pages, data resources and multimedia files by simply typing a query and clicking the Search button.

AltaVista's search tabs, located on top of the search box, allow you to instantly search in different areas: Web, Images, Audio, Video, Directory or News.

To try a different type of search, just click a tab. AltaVista takes the words that are currently in the search box and automatically perform the search for you.

2004/09/27 This link lets you easily translate a Web page into any of nine languages. When you translate a page, AltaVista automatically translates all of the pages you link to from that page.

2004/09/26 When a site contains multiple pages that closely match your query, clicking on this link lets you see all of them. If a second page is very close in relevance to the first page, AltaVista automatically shows the second page indented below the first one.
