4. How Does Search Engine Works?
Crawling - Process of fetching all the web pages linked to a website. This
task is performed by a software called a crawler or a spider (or Googlebot,
in case of Google).
Indexing - Process of creating index for all the fetched web pages
and keeping them into a giant database from where it can later be
retrieved. Essentially, the process of indexing is identifying the words and
expressions that best describe the page and assigning the page to particular
keywords.
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.
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.
Retrieving 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.
