What are the difference between Search Engine and Directories?

A Search Engine is a programme that usually finds or searches for and recognizes different items in and from a database which corresponds to relevant and important keywords stated by the user and especially used for the purpose of searching the specific sites or blogs or forums or so forth on the WWW (World Wide Web). It is a system of software which is maintained and designed to recognize information on the World Wide Web.

On the other hand, Directory can be referred to computing directory, service directory, political directory, business directory, telephone directory and web directory. Generally a directory is used for the purpose of organizing information of a specific type in a particular form, for instance a telephone directory. But a web directory is a subject guide, commonly organized by huge topics and subtopics. For instance, Yahoo is one of the famous web directories in the world (http://www.yahoo.com).
