Google and Wikipedia are easily couple of the most used search engines online. How do they work? It is quite interesting to know how these searching engines work.
For Google they use crawlers/"Googlebots" to visit huge numbers of websites then they will have all these search results available. Google wants to make sure the search engine has relevance, comprehensiveness, freshness, and speed. They value that the results that the user is searching for is found easily, accurately, and fast.
The "Technology" section of "Corporate Information" filled the curiosity and answered questions that existed while using this search engine that is so widely used, popular, and not to mention, easy to use and very helpful.
On "Wikipedia," it explains that "PageRanK" is a link analysis algorithm that was originally used exclusively by Google.
It basically scores each of most visited sites then the ones with most scores show up toward the top of search engine.
Learning about "PageRank" helps understand the mechanism of search engines such as Google. Also the fact that the system of how this work actually helps getting rid of harmful sites or less useful sites from the results is great to know.
As we learn more and understand what we use online all the time, we can be more careful and/or be more appreciative about things that we just took for granted until now.
These articles are recommended for those who desire to be enlightened.
