Search Engine in Action

A search engine looks through many webpages for the words you type. It then shows the pages that contain those words.

In the picture

  1. The magnifying glass: scanning across many webpages.
  2. The search bar: where the words to search for are entered.
  3. A webpage tile: one page among the many being checked.
  4. The glowing tile: a page that contains the entered words and is listed.

Examples

  • Typing volcano facts and getting pages about volcanoes.
  • Typing a friend’s name and seeing pages that mention that name.
