Search Engine is a software or a programmed script that returns the result that arranged and based on the quality of the content for the particular keywords that are searched by the user. In simple words Search Engine is a gateway to access the desired piece of information from the World Wide Web. Google, AOL, Bing, Yahoo are some popular search engines.

Google is most popular search engine on which more then 40,000 people are searching. As Google is most common search engine and all of us prefer to use it for searching anything on the internet. Let us take an example, suppose you have to search something on the internet like, What is Hacking?, for this you will open the Google type your questions there and click on search button and as the outcome you will get the results.

The first search engine was Archie which was created in 1990 by Alan Emtage, a student at McGill University in Montreal. At that time the Search Engine Archie give search results from few hundred websites and most of them were College websites but today there are uncountable websites on the World Wide Web that are optimized and shown in search results by search engines.

We all use search engines like Google but that is only front end of the system have you ever thought what happens when a query is searched on a search engine ? We are just enjoying the front end of the Google and are unaware of its functioning. A single Google search requires more computing power than it took to send Apollo 11 to the Moon. Search engines like Google use Algorithms that are programs and formulas to deliver the best result for every search that is made on it. There is a term SEO that is Search Engine Optimization which helps the Search Engines to optimize and index the webpages. When we type a query on the Search Engine, the lightning fast processing starts and in one blink of eye the result is in front of you.

Search Engines(Google) ranks the websites on the basis of 200 factors that automatically determines importance and the usefulness of the content and accordingly gives the result. Google is programmed in such a way that it does not need any human efforts while processing a query and is the biggest name on the internet where daily new ideas are born and algorithms keep changing based on the ideas of the engineers.
