designed to search information’s on the World
Wide Web.

of results often referred to as search engine
results pages (SERPs).

4. Architecture of Search Engines
The architecture of search engine has the following
components:
• Crawling
• Indexing
• Serving Results

5. Crawling
Crawling is a process by which Googlebot
discovers publicly available webpages and analyses the
links on those pages by browsing content on the web. The
crawl process begins with a list of web addresses from past
crawls and sitemaps provided by website owners.
The crawler goes from link to link and brings data about
those webpages back to Google’s servers.
(Googlebot -Google Crawler)

6. Indexing
The process of saving all the information’s as a
database from those that are collected by the crawler is
called Indexing.
The Indexer will have every information that were
crawled such as ,all the words the crawler sees, their location
on each page, key content tags, attributes, internal links,
external links etc..
(Google Page Index is how many pages from your website
that Google has seen and has stored in its database.)

7. Cont….
Google essentially gathers the pages during the
crawl process and then creates an index.
The Google index includes information about words
and their locations. When a user search, at the most
basic level, Google’s algorithms look up the search
terms in the index to find the appropriate pages.

8. Serving Results
The process of fetching out more relevant results
from the Google index, which matches the users query is
called Serving Results.
Based on the users query, Google fetches out
results from the number of pages that google has already
indexed and then displays relevant results to the users
query.
