    It’s just one of the pipes in the interweb plumbing system duh. (That’s actually a slightly better metaphor than I was going for come to think of it.)

      Maybe the browser is more like a faucet and the search engine is like… the city water utility? Obviously that analogy has flaws too.

      You could say your tv is like a browser and the “guide” is like a search engine. That analogy is a bit better.
