Rev up your engines.

 

How Search Engines Work 

Search engines use software called spiders, Webcrawlers, or bots

to automatically collect the words on millions of Web pages. These words are fed into a searchable database that the search engine uses.

Your results are listed in a RELEVANCY order or how well your keyword matches the description of the website. It is best to use more than one search engine on a regular basis.
