What are the pros and cons of using Naver versus Google for research purposes?/ Kim Seonghui
Naver is a search engine made in Korea. Therefore, we can get a lot of data, especially from Korea if we search on Naver. We can even find and read the posts on the Naver blog and Naver cafe. Searching for the word "studying" as an example, the word comes up with advertising, shopping, websites, news, blogs, knowledge and other data related to the word. The downside is that blogs and cafes, in particular, have a lot of data mixed with opinions from individuals, not from reliable sources. Also, to facilitate the inflow of other people, the blog uses hashtags to expose words that are not related to the words searched. I'm a little upset if I read such an exposed article but it's not related to the word I searched for.
Google is a global search engine. Therefore, if you search Google, you can get all the data in the world. The downside is that the volume of data is too vast because all the world's materials (e.g. encyclopedias, images, blogs, and even Reddit, Tumblr) come out. We can use advanced search commands to sort out the materials we want, but it takes a while to get used to the usage.
When I search personally, I usually use Google. The main reason is that when I turn on the Internet, Google is the basic Internet. I usually use Google when I need academic and wide search. However, if not, I enjoy using Naver.
I especially agree with a writing about Google. It is good tool to find much diverse results but I also felt inconveniences because I had to find things which I need both in relevant and irrelevant information. Do you have any tips to distinguish the 'real' results you need?
