You might consider an enquiry engine as an internet site you visit to type (or speak) an issue into a box and Google, Yahoo!, Bing, or whatever program you’re using magically replies with an extended list of links to webpages that would potentially answer your question.
That’s true. But have you ever ever stopped to think about what’s behind those magical lists of links?
Here’s how it works: Google (or any program you’re using) features a crawler that goes out and gathers information about all the content they will find on the web . The crawlers bring all those 1s and 0s back to the program to create an index. That index is then fed through an algorithm that tries to match all that data together with your query.
