What are Search Engines?
Search Engines - A search engine is a database of many web pages.
Most engines display the number of web pages they hold in their database at any given time.
A search engine generally “ranks” or orders the results according to a set of parameters.
These parameters (called algorithms) vary among search engines; they are always improving in order to identify spam as well as improve relevance.
A search engine helps people find information, products and services, in a similar fashion to a library, except on a more gigantic scale.
Google, Yahoo and MSN are the world leaders in search engine technology and have been key in developing the ongoing growth of the web.
