How Search Engines Work
Today we show how a search engine works
? What happens when a searcher enters keywords ? What was performed well in advance ? Also explain (briefly) how paid results are chosen
If we have time, we will also talk about the size of the Web (If you really want to know how web search engines work, take my CSE345 WWW Search Engines course in the spring!)

The engine first builds an index
? Custom database of all the words on all pages ? Search engine also stores other information
