Google Search

Google Search is a web service that finds and ranks online information in response to queries, using an index built from information discovered across the web.

Web crawler: A program that automatically discovers and retrieves web pages by following links or other discovery signals. Googlebot discovers pages that Google may later process and include in its index.
Google Images: Google's image-search service, which finds images using text queries and visual information. It applies Google's search infrastructure to image discovery.
Bing: Microsoft's web search service, which indexes and ranks online information in response to queries. It offers a competing general-purpose web search service.
Search engine optimization: Practices used to improve a web page's visibility in unpaid search results. Publishers adapt content and site structure to compete for Google's rankings.
Search engine indexing: The process of organizing information about web pages so a search engine can retrieve them efficiently. Google Search typically retrieves candidates from an index rather than searching every page live.
Google News: Google's news-aggregation service, which organizes reporting from publishers around current events and topics. It specializes in finding and organizing news content.
DuckDuckGo: A web search service that emphasizes privacy and combines results from multiple sources. Its privacy positioning contrasts with Google's extensive account and personalization ecosystem.
Search engine results page: The page or interface displaying results returned by a search engine for a query. Google's interface determines how ranked links, ads, and direct answers share attention.
Information retrieval: The field concerned with finding relevant information in large collections in response to queries. Google Search is a large-scale information retrieval system.
Google Maps: Google's mapping service for exploring places, routes, and geographic information. Local queries can surface maps, businesses, and geographic results.
