They store bales, parcels, etc. <\/p>\u2022 The WWW is the collection of \u201csites\u201d where people store their files. <\/p>\u2022 You need both WWW and the Internet to be useful.\n <\/b><\/p> <\/p>So that makes some sense finally but, we often listen people talking about \"cloud\" now what does that mean?<\/b>\n <\/p> <\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1660593869154","data":"62faa80eee2c8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1660593869155","data":"\u2022 The term \"cloud computing\" is everywhere.

The user sends files manually or in an automated fashion over the Internet to the data server which forwards the information to multiple servers. The stored data is then accessible through a web-based interface. <\/p> <\/p>Okay learnt about all the essential terms but, want to know how Search Engine works? <\/b><\/p>\u2022 There are billions of web pages out there residing on servers! <\/p>\u2022 No search engine can search all those pages directly. <\/p>\u2022 A general-purpose SE searches a huge database that contains the \u201ctext-based content\u201d of web pages selected from these billions of web pages. <\/p>\u2022 When you search the web using a search engine, you are always searching a somewhat stale copy of the real web page. When you click on links provided in a search engine's search results, you retrieve from the server the current version of the page. <\/b><\/p> <\/p>\nAs we have been using the term database all this while excited to know what database mean?<\/b>\n <\/p> <\/b>Yes! Database is nothing but a collection of data that can be accessed and managed easily. <\/b><\/p> <\/p>So now that we are aware of Database, but you must be stuck in a thought of who creates Databases?\nLet's see then.\n <\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1660593869158","data":"62faa8df2e1cb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1660593869159","data":"\u2022 Search engine databases are selected and built by computer robot programs called spiders or bots <\/p>\u2022 Although it is said they \"crawl\" the web in their hunt for pages to include, in truth they stay in one place. They find the pages for potential inclusion by following the links in the pages they already have in their database (i.e., already \"know about\"). <\/p>\u2022 They cannot think or type a URL or use judgment to \"decide\" to go look something up and see what's on the web. (Computers are getting more sophisticated all the time, but they are still brainless.) <\/p> <\/p>So if you are blogger and your blog isn't added to any of the website can these spiders able to find them?<\/b> <\/p>\u2022 If a web page (say, your blog) is never linked to in any other page, search engine spiders cannot find it.<\/p>\u2022 The only way a brand-new page - one that no other page has ever linked to - can get into a search engine is for its URL to be sent by some human to the search engine companies as a request that the new page be included. All search engine companies offer ways to do this. \n <\/b><\/p> <\/p>So now consider that spiders have found your blog now they need to send them to another computer is that possible if it's so what's called?<\/b> <\/p>It is called Indexing. <\/b><\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1660593869160","data":"62faa94b9b28e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1660593869161","data":"\u2022 After spiders find pages, they pass them on to another computer program for \"indexing.\" <\/p>\u2022 This program identifies the text, links, and other content in the page and stores it in the search engine\u2019s database so that the database can be searched by keyword and the page will be found if your search matches its content. <\/p>\u2022 Ranking is the process of ordering the search results by how well it matches the query.\n <\/p> <\/p>Excited to know about the strategies of search engine?
