What are Search Engines?
Search engines are specialized websites designed to help people find the information they need quickly and easily on the internet. While each search engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo!Search, etc.) have different approaches to data gathering, they all perform three core functions:
- Searching or surfing the internet based on important words;
- Keeping an index of what they find and where they found them; and
- Allow users to look for words or combinations of words on their site.
