The action of looking for something
In its broader references, the word search refers, on the one hand, the act of searching that unfolds someone or something, for example a machine or a specialized function for that purpose; and it is also called search, to the research or documentation study, the bibliographic search, the search for a person, among others.
Recover of information
The search for answers is a type of procedure that is responsible for retrieving information, one of the most complex systems when it comes to retrieving information, basically because it searches for information in an immense amount of documents, web search engines use this type of methodology. It consists of extracting from the documents a minimum fragment of text which answers a question that is asked in natural current language. Due to the complexity we mentioned, it is located ahead of the technology that a traditional search engine has.
The search is also an operation carried out by specialized emergency services, civil or military, with the aim of finding sick, lost or injured people, in very remote areas or not easily accessible to the common people.. Among the most common are: mountain rescue, urban search and rescue, combat search and rescue, and sea rescue by air.
Use in computing: search engines
AND In Computer Science, the concept of search occupies a preferential place and, undoubtedly, in recent years as a consequence of the great presence of new technologies in our daily lives, especially on the Internet, the concept has been widely used. A search engine turns out to be that computer system that searches for files that are stored on various web servers thanks to its spiders
Notable influence on the development of the World Wide Web
The search engine is a program whose objective is to provide the user with the most important results that are associated with their search. Undoubtedly, this program was the key to the fantastic expansion that the web achieved, because it allowed an enormous amount of documents that are in it to be easy to locate when the user needs them.
The most recognized and popular exponent today when looking for something on the web is Google, that is, when someone wants to know the meaning of a word, obtain information from their favorite artist, among other issues, they go to Google and there they will write what you are looking for and soon this search engine offers us thousands and thousands of results associated with that search.
A third element of relevance to the search engine is added to the database and the algorithm, that of spiders. It is a program that deals with performing the recognition on the various pages present on the web, it goes through them just as the user would and then gather information to incorporate it into the database and thus have it available when required.
Changes are usually made to search programs with the intention of improving the user experience, although, of course, this fact can often harm website owners who are suddenly affected because their site no longer appears first in a search like it used to do.
Although some techniques are created to beat the search engine in this regard, success is achieved for a while but you can never beat the constant updates that are made on these programs.
