- It stores this information in a database or index for later retrieval.
2. Indexer:
- The indexer is another program that works in conjunction with the spider.
- Its main task is to analyze and organize the information collected by the spider.
- It processes the collected data and creates an index, which is a structured database that enables efficient searching and retrieval of information.
- The indexer extracts keywords and other relevant information from the web pages and associates them with the respective URLs.
- It also assigns weights or rankings to the indexed pages based on various factors like relevance, popularity, and quality.
Together, the spider and indexer form the backbone of a web search engine:
- The spider crawls the web, discovering and collecting information from web pages.
- The indexer processes and organizes this information, creating an index that enables fast and accurate searching.
- When a user enters a search query, the search engine utilizes the index to quickly retrieve relevant results and present them to the user.
