What is Search Engine?

[rajivweb]

A search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a list of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler.

A search engine is a web site that collects and manages content from all over the internet. Those wishing to find something would enter a query about what they'd like to find and the engine provides links to content that matches what they want.

Hello....
Search engines are programs that search documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. A search engine is really a general class of programs, however, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Google, Bing and Yahoo! Search that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web...

On the Internet, a search engine is a coordinated set of programs that includes:

A spider (also called a "crawler" or a "bot") that goes to every page or representative pages on every Web site that wants to be searchable and reads it, using hypertext links on each page to discover and read a site's other pages
A program that creates a huge index (sometimes called a "catalog") from the pages that have been read
A program that receives your search request, compares it to the entries in the index, and returns results to you
