What is a Search Engine?
A
Web search engine
is a tool designed to search forinformation on the World Wide Web. The search results areusually presented in a list and are commonly called
hits
. The information may consist of web pages, images,information and other types of files.
Web search engines work by storing information aboutmany web pages, which they retrieve from the WWWitself. These pages are retrieved by a Web crawler(sometimes also known as a spider) — an automated Webbrowser which follows every link it sees. Exclusions can bemade by the use of 
robots.txt
.
 The contents of each page are then analyzed to determinehow it should be indexed (for example, words areextracted from the
titles
,
headings
, or special fieldscalled
meta tags
).
