Google, Yahoo and others are popular search engines that enable users to find other web sites and internet resources. Search engines work by indexing the web and adding web site information into a set of massive databases. [1]

A program used to search for documents on the web relating to keywords or key search terms entered by a user. A search engine is comprised of two parts: a Spider which fetches the documents and an Indexer which reads web documents and creates an index using the words and ideas within each document. Some of the top search engines are Google, Alta Vista and MSN. [8]

A tool or program which allows keyword searching for relevant sites or information on the Internet. General and topic-specific search engines are prevalent today, for example, Education World, WebCrawler, Infoseek, Lycos, and Yahoo are examples of search engines.
