HOW does a SEARCH ENGINE WORK?

Each time you enter a word or phase(say"the five best desserts")into a search engine,the following things happen behind the scenes in about one-eighth of a second.

STEP1:Sort

  The Search engine uses algorithms(mathematical formulas)to determine exactly what you're hunting for,adding in synonyms("tatiest treats"),anticipat-ing your teams before you've made a mistake(did you mean "best deserts"instead of "best desserts").

STEP2:Search

   Your request is sent to the search engine's servers.Here,the company that owns the search engine maintains a massive index of all the words,photos,videos,songs,and other data strewn across the World Wide Web.This information-enough to fill hundreds of millions of gigabytes-is continuosly collected and updated by progames called "spiders"that crawl the web and sift through its through its information.

STEP3:Collect

  From its index,the search engine gathers every Web page with content that matches your search term.Results are filtered based on hundreds of factors,including the pages'age,the number of people who've visited the pages,their estimated reability,and more.

STEP4:Voila

       The results are ranked as links in your web browser,with the most relevant Web pages at the top of the list.

How BIG IS THE WORLD WIDE WEB?

According to Google,the World Wide Web is made of more than 60trillion individuals pages-more pages than the number of neurons in your brain.
