A search engine is a website through which users can search internet

content. To do this, users enter the desired search term into the search
field. The search engine then looks through its index for relevant websites
and displays them in the form of a list. The search engine’s internal
evaluation algorithm determines which position a website will get in the
search results. Google, Bing and Yahoo are examples of popular search
engines.
