Why Use Google?
Google is the leading
search tool on the Internet today. Not only is it the best web search engine,
it also includes features such as image search, map, news and much more. Google
is fast, appropriate and the largest single catalogue of web pages made
available today. As shown here, this
website has a list of top 15 most popular search engines. It is made up of over
60 trillion individual pages and it is constantly continuing to grow bigger and
bigger. Google searches the web by crawling. It means that we follow links from
page to page. As searchers we sort each page by their content and other
factors. All of the contents are kept tracked of in the index which is over 100
million gigabytes. Then, Google write programs and formulas to distribute the
top results possible. As we begin to search, algorithms look for clues to get a
better understanding of what we mean. This includes different search methods,
spelling, auto complete words, phrases or sentences, synonyms and query
understanding. Based on all those clues, Google brings up relevant documents
from their index. Each result is ranked based on the quality of the site and
page, how fresh the page looks, safe search, user context, worldwide search and
translation. Every webpage may include spam and Google works hard to fight them
to help keep our results relevant to our search. Most of the spam is removed
automatically. Every time we type something into the Google search bar, it goes
through these steps. What’s even better is that all these steps happen in 1/8th
of a second.
