Search Engines Behind the Scene

Everyone knows how to and what search engines are but not everyone do it effectively. At least that’s what Badke said. Badke also taught me tons of techniques and tricks to efficiently narrow down my search results (e.g. using NOT in search engines exclude unwanted results). The way a search engine work can be compare to a complex factory assembly line. There are many steps and procedures that needs to take place every time we press a search button as mention in “How a Search Engine Works“. I also learned that companies like Google invest heavily their search engine; Google has more people working on their search engine than any other of their projects. From personal experience, I learned that Google makes a lot of money by configuring the pagerank system and putting payer’s WebPages in beginning of search results.
