What is search engines?



A search engine is a piece of software that enables users to use keywords or phrases to get the information they're looking for online.

Even with millions of websites available, search engines are able to deliver results swiftly by continuously monitoring the Internet and indexing every page they come across.

When a user types in a search phrase, the search engine examines the page titles, contents, and keywords it has indexed on the user's chosen website before using algorithms (step-by-step procedures) to generate a list of websites, with the more pertinent websites appearing first.

Businesses employ search engine optimisation (SEO) to make their websites appear to search engines as being extremely relevant to specific searches. Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are well-known.
