A search engine is a software program that allows users to search for information on the Internet by entering keywords or phrases. Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo use complex algorithms to crawl and index web pages, returning relevant results to users' queries. How do search engines actually work?

Search engines are basically the backbone of how we navigate the internet. I know they use algorithms to figure out what’s most relevant to your search, but I’ve always wondered how they decide which results to show first. Like, why does one site rank higher than another? I’ve heard it has to do with things like keywords, page authority, and even how fast a site loads. Anyone here have more insight into how SEO (search engine optimization) plays into this?
