How Search Engines Work

 

📘 Lesson 1: How Search Engines Work

Concept:
Search engines like Google use automated bots (called crawlers) to discover pages across the web. These pages are indexed (stored) in a massive database. When a user searches, Google retrieves the most relevant pages and ranks them based on relevance, authority, and user experience.

Key Processes:

  • Crawling: Bots follow links to discover content.
  • Indexing: The discovered content is stored in Google’s database.
  • Ranking: Algorithms evaluate and order results by relevance.

Example:
If you publish a blog post about “Opptym AI SEO,” Google’s crawler finds it through internal links or a sitemap, indexes it, and may rank it for searches like “Opptym AI SEO” if optimized well.

Exercise:
Go to Google Search Console → URL Inspection → enter one of your page URLs → check whether it’s indexed and fix issues if not.
