Steps involving google search:
1. CRAWLING
- When we type something in the search bar, we are led to the web page with the relevant information according to our search. Google stores these web pages in a big list to look at them later.
- Crawler takes note of all the keywords, descriptions, to understand your data search history. This way the google crawler can locate the already visited web page by the user in the past to yield better search results.
2. INDEXING
- After google locates the relevant page on the world wide web, it examines the information, images, videos on that web page to understand what the page is about and stores it on the google index, google index is a huge database on computers. This process is called indexing.
3. RESULTS
- When a user performs a google search, google goes through the indexed pages to yield better results for your search. Google pays attention to factors such as location, language, device, previous queries, etc before giving high-quality search results. Search results for a person in India will have completely different results for a person in the US for the same question on google. Google ranks pages according to its algorithm
