How Search Engines Work
While you were off resting your eyes and stretching your legs, you were probably wondering how the search engines found all those webpages that were returned when you submitted your search topic, weren’t you? The link below will take you to some websites that specialize in explaining how search engines work. These websites also monitor and compare search engine performance and publish the results online.
Resize your web browser window and open NotePad, TextEdit or your word processor. Open the digital logbook and the link below.
As you read the online articles, record relevant information in your digital logbook. You can cut and paste relevant text from the web browser to the digital logbook or summarize the information in your own words. Save the digital logbook file when you finish.
Send me an email message describing what you discovered about how search engines work. Please use your own words (not text from the background articles). Title the message How Search Engines Work.
