Search engine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Search engine is a web site on the World Wide Web (www) of the Internet that helps us to quickly and easily find the web pages we want.
When a user type words into the search engine, it looks for web pages with those words. There could be thousands, or even millions, of web pages with those words. So, the search engine helps users by putting the web pages it thinks the user wants first.
