How does it work?
All popular search engines such as Google have a primary search results list, these results are based on what that search engine considers most relevant to users. Each search engine you’re using has a crawler that gathers information on content they can find on the Internet. Using this information an index is built and fed through an algorithm that tried to match all the data with your query.
