Was Alexander neckham the inventor of the mirror?
Alexander Neckham was born in 1157 and died in 1217; he received an excellent Church education and became a clerk in minor orders and a school teacher. Later he joined a community of Augustinian canons and was elected abbot in 1213.
He wrote several important manuscripts, mostly around 1180; these include "De Nominibus Utensilium" (regarding the names of tools), which is much more than the title implies. It covers clothing, furniture, tools, the contents of a church, how to build a castle, what to grow in a garden, the component parts of a plough, ship, loom and cart and much more. Other works are "De Naturis Rerum" (on the nature of things) and "Corrogationes Promethei". He was an observer and a recorder of the world around him.
As far as I can discover, Neckham did not invent anything - he simply recorded lists of things, how things were put together and so on. In "De nominibus utensilium" he describes lead-backed glass mirrors for the first time in history, but he was simply recording what others had devised, not what he himself had produced.
Mirrors have existed since Ancient Egyptian times; the earliest were made of highly polished bronze. They were certainly known long before Neckham's time.

Largest search engine in the world?
The world's largest search engine is by quite a long shot, Google. These figures are a little dated (April 2009) published by Comscore:
Google now has 64.2% (March 63.7%) of the market with 9.476 billion (March 9.125 bn) searches as against Yahoo! on 20.4% (March 20.5%) and Microsoft 8.2% (March 8.3%)
Clearly, Google with 64% against Yahoo! on 20% shows just what a dominant hold Google has over the search engines.
(P.S) - When you ask "largest" I assume you mean in terms of market share. "Cuil.com" claims that it has a larger indexed database than Google, but certainly is tiny in terms of market share compared to Google.

How do you optimize an iframe site for search engines?
Iframes though quite helpful are not very seo friendly. Some SEO prefer to use a tag to describe the frame or iframe to the search engines. Else there is no way a search engine spider will read the contents of an iframe.
The reason is obvious: say some page ranks number one for a particular keyword with lots of good content. You simply cannot reap the benefits of showing the same page inside a frame on your site.
The alternative is to use the noframe HTML tag to describe the frame and its contents. This practice is not highly recommended. The second thing you may do is to provide links to the page inside the iframe. This will do you good only if the iframe page belongs to your site. Get Best SEO tools in >>> solidseotools.com
