What is a Serach Engine?

Most people think that a search engine searches the internet for keyword matches. Although that is the desired result it is not technically true.

Search engines are more correctly labeled as an index. A collection of presearched pages with classified results ready to serve out as search results.

A search could never really search the entire internet for results in real time. It takes months and even years to read all the pages and find relavent results. The results are stored in an index and delivered when requested.

For this reason, it can often take up to a year before your page is included in the search index.

We started our own search engine but were severely underfinanced. The $100million dollar mark that the big guys are spending to get a comprehensive index was just a few dollars beyond our budget. Although we were able to set up a good quality search engine with a few million sites we were far from being able to index the entire internet.
