How Google Search Works

The Basics

Google Search is a web search engine that helps users find information on the internet. It works by crawling the web, indexing pages, and ranking them in order of relevance to a user's query.

When a user enters a query into Google, the search engine first crawls the web to find pages that are relevant to the query. Google uses a variety of factors to determine relevance, including the words on the page, the number of backlinks to the page, and the authority of the website.

Once Google has crawled the web, it indexes the pages that it has found. The index is a database of all the pages that Google has found, and it is used to help the search engine quickly find pages that are relevant to a user's query.

Relevant Result Ranking

When a user enters a query into Google, the search engine uses the index to find pages that are relevant to the query. The search engine then ranks the pages in order of relevance, with the most relevant pages appearing at the top of the search results.

Google uses a variety of factors to rank pages, including the words on the page, the number of backlinks to the page, and the authority of the website. The search engine also uses machine learning to help it rank pages.

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Google uses machine learning to help it understand the meaning of web pages and to rank them in order of relevance.
