The most popular search engines are Google, Yahoo !, Bing, Ask, among others.
How does the Google search engine work?
Besides Google, other search engines also have a similar operation. As mentioned above, Google works with crawlers or "crawlers". To understand a little better, these crawlers are like spiders that move around the web to find documents via links.
After the crawler, the search engine, which in this case is Google, creates its own index with the collected data. We can also perform this process from the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Then the user enters the keywords in Google to search for what it wants and then the search engine does an analysis of all the data stored in its index and tries to decipher with great precision all the information that matches the most. Finally, it is delivered to the user, organizing it from the most relevant to the least relevant.
