HOW SEARCH ENGINE WORKS..???
1) CRAWLING - Process of fetching all the web pages linked to a website
through a software called crawler (or Googlebot, in case of
Google).whenever we make a page, google crawls it.
2) INDEXING – after crawling is done, google stores the information of the
page in his database.
3) PROCESSING - When a search request comes, the search engine processes
it, i.e. it compares the search string in the search request with the indexed
pages in the database.
4) CALCULATING RELEVANCY - It is likely that more than one page contains
the search string, so the search engine starts calculating the relevancy of
each of the pages in its index to the search string.
5) RETRIVING RESULTS - The last step in search engine activities is retrieving the
best matched results. Basically, it is nothing more than simply displaying
them in the browser.
