A search engine is a web-based platform designed to help users find information stored online. Search engines provide relevant results to users based on their search queries or keywords.

What is Search Engine?

Let's Know the process  of how a search engine  works

1 Crawling

Search engines use automated programs called "crawlers" or "spiders" to discover and scan web pages across the internet.

2. Indexing

After crawling, search engines organize and store the information they've gathered from web pages in a vast database known as an index.

3. Ranking

When a user enters a query into the search engine, it retrieves relevant results from its index. Search engines use complex algorithms to analyze and rank these results based on various factors, including relevancy to the query, quality of content, website authority, user experience, and more.

Displaying Results

Finally, the search engine displays the ranked results to the user on its search engine results pages (SERPs). Users can then click on the displayed links to visit the web pages that seem most relevant to their query.
