#Twisted Search

Is search engine faster than my brain?

Have you ever looked for something you really need to find—quickly? The classic example is when someone loses a set of keys. This frustrating situation is the perfect example in performing a visual search.  During a visual search, an observer (the person who is searching for the keys, for example) looks for a target (the keys) in the midst of distracters (all the other stuff in a home). By making the target easier to see, such as by putting the keys on a big, bright red key chain, the observer could improve on their visual search and improve its chances of success.

Coming back to the start of the discussion is search engine faster than the brain. When we compare both they both are dedicated to a process of search. But the way we are weighing it is not right. Researchers have given more brownies to search engine, which is half the truth. If broken down into steps the difference in weighing the both will make more sense…

Search Engine

Type Keys with red key chain

The search will give you end number results

The actual search is not over here, you need to still get to your one answer. When we do a search for our answers do we do it for one or uncountable. The weighing of brain & search engine is wrongly done. Till the time you have not reached to your right solution your search cannot be said to be complete. When you are looking for your lost keys you are not looking for all the keys, but for one out of the many.

In fact they both can never be compared as this is dependent not on one parameter but many like situational, placement & your mind focus. When I say situational it means you can be surrounded by many people, which diverts & breaks your link to your search. Making it same the other way too, where a crowded house & solitude-ness can again be a major factor of search on your keys.

When I say placement it’s the sequencing of a thing, sequence we find in a search engine & our brain too. They both scan on a given set of information, when we compare the both one can find an answer in the first step where the other can find it may be in the last step. This pattern is not fixed it can be vice-versa or may be a different thing all together.

When I say mind focus this is your stress, anxiety & excitement comes in play. It’s just a bit of it which I have mentioned, it is more deeper as it gets linked to a persons’ behavioural aspect. How a person with stands stress, urgency of a situation cannot be put as same as will always vary person to person. I can be cool like a cucumber or can be sitting on a rocket of fire while searching it. Which can play towards me or against me. Mental balance is one of the key ingredients in doing any task which has been given always less focus, which if not measured in any research can make it sound completely nullified.
