Description
A search engine includes a robot or crawler that goes to every page or representative pages on a Website, or the whole Web, and creates an index. It also includes a program that receives search requests, compares an individual request to the entries in the index, and returns results to the end users.
This brick addresses search capabilities for Web pages only. However, several vendors and technologies that can be used enterprise-wide (i.e., search information systems within an organization) will be tracked (in Emerging) moving forward.
