6. Search engines perform several activities in order to deliver search results.
 Crawling - Process of fetching all the web pages linked to a website. This task is performed by a software,
called a crawler or a spider (or Googlebot, in case of Google).
 Indexing - Process of creating index for all the fetched web pages and keeping them into a giant database
from where it can later be retrieved. Essentially, the process of indexing is identifying the words and
expressions that best describe the page and assigning the page to particular keywords.
 Processing - When a search request comes, the search engine processes it, i.e. it compares the search
string in the search request with the indexed pages in the database.
 Calculating Relevancy - It is likely that more than one page contains the search string, so the search engine
starts calculating the relevancy of each of the pages in its index to the search string.
 Retrieving Results - The last step in search engine activities is retrieving the best matched results. Basically,
it is nothing more than simply displaying them in the browser.
