 Crawling is the process by which Googlebot (a program) visits

and used to update the Google Index.

5. INDEXING
 The process of analyzing the content, images and video
files in the page, trying to understand what the page is
about.
 All this information is stored in the Google Index, a huge
database that is stored on many computers
(supercomputers).

6. RANKING:
 When a user enters a query, Google index
machines search the index for matching
pages and return the results that are believed
to be the most relevant to the user.
 The relevancy is determined by many factors.

search bar.

provided to Google by the user etc.
 Thirdly, Google rank or arrange the information into proper categories, so that the most relevant information
would be on top.
 Fourthly, Google provides and shows us the information on the homepage where we select from the websites. All
