Subject directories are built by human hands instead of by “spider” programs scanning web pages.  The results are often sorted by subject instead of ranked by a computer.  The results given by a subject directory can be a great deal more relevant to a given search, even though the database of searched web pages is somewhat smaller than the average search engine.  Also the searches within subject directories search titles and headers but do not contain the entire text of a page, limiting the chance that you will click on a link only to find that the only reference to the search criteria is a brief tangent.

There can be great advantages to searches built by human minds instead of spider programs.  Spiders are very useful at gathering large quantities of information, however the search capacity is limited to the text of the search and can often be searched and ranked as a result out of context.  A human can compile categories based on a search that the computer might not see as relevant.  A human can make connections and leaps of logic to fit a human searcher, whereas a computer follows strict logical protocol that do not always fit some of the zany things that we humans are searching for online.

Computer ranking algorithms are a subject that I personally know nothing about.  I do not know how they are chosen, who programs them, or what their basis for calculation is.  I do know that if I am looking for something in particular online, I often know at least a vague concept of what I am looking for.  A search result page grouped by category means that I can avoid subjects that are not quite what I want and find pages similar to what I do want much more easily.  I know that when I search yahoo, there are often some random results, or ones which fit my search criteria but are not of the correct subject nature.  That is bypassed in the subject directories.

I could not give enough examples of times that I have searched and searched for a particular subject and found infinite references to my specific phrase in irrelevant pages.  A person with a blog or a group on a message board might be discussing the political situation in Iraq, but that does not mean that their page holds any relevant information concerning that subject.  I imagine that searching a subject directory where the lack of the complete text of each page limits results, would be a great deal easier than sifting through the mountains of one-line references that happen to match the search.
