search engine

system to help searching for information

AI overview

A search engine is a tool that helps you find information on the internet by searching through vast amounts of web pages and returning results relevant to what you're looking for. It matters because it makes it possible to quickly locate the specific information you need among billions of pages online, rather than having to browse randomly.

In computing, a search engine is an information retrieval software system designed to help find information stored on one or more computer systems. Search engines discover, crawl, transform, and store information for retrieval and presentation in response to user queries. The search results are usually presented in a list and are commonly called hits. The most widely used type of search engine is a web search engine, which searches for information on the World Wide Web.
