How Google Works?
Google is a search engine, a famous and to be said a reliable search engine in today’s competent era of highly developed technology.
Mostly the end users of the internet or computer when ever need any kind of query to be answered go immediately toward search engines on the browsers. Among those the Google search engine stands on the top to answer immediately and to the point. But the point here comes is that how this most popular search engine works with that much pace and accuracy…?
The process of search on the Google starts with web, which are made of more than millions of pages and number of pages keep increasing on regular basis. The Google navigates and then do crawling on the pages. Here the site owners decide whether their sites be crawled or not.
Then the pages are being sorted out regarding the material or content carried by them and via so many other factors. Which can be more than 1000 gigabits. and its track is being kept into Index. After that the programs and the formulas are set so that the best possible results could be delivered.
When the one starts the search with any specific word or term the Algorithm at the search engine starts looking for clue to understand in better way that what the searching person mean..!
Search methods are done via different methods for instance; Spellings…….synonyms…….query-understanding…..auto completion….etc
Later on the basis of those clues the relevant documents are pulled out from the pages’ index. Then the results are ranked on the basis of their site and page quality. All this process gets completed in the tiny parts of a second only.
The results might be shown into different forms. The superefficient mechanism of the search engine keeps the spam away so the results may remain relevant to the query. That is the way the search works, which seems too simple to be done but in reality behind a simple page search results there remain a complex system, a carefully crafted and tested system to support more than 100,00,000 searches every month.
