What Are Search Engines?
Search engine is the term often used to describe both crawler-based
search engines and directories. Search Engines and directories
gather their listings in totally different ways. At Digital Catapult,
we focus on crawler-based search engines. Crawler based search engines
create their listings by "crawling" or "spidering" the web. If your
web pages change, crawler-based search engines eventually find these
changes, and that affects how you are listed. Page titles, body
copy and other things all play a role in the decisions that search
engine make. How do search
engines work, is a topic for another page.
Examples of Search Engines include:
Human-powered search engines (directories) rely on humans to submit information that is subsequently indexed and catalogued. Only information that is submitted is put into the index.
