First, let’s introduce how Google Search works:
Google Search operates in three main steps:
1. Crawling
Google uses a web crawler program called Googlebot to discover new and updated web pages on the internet. The crawler continuously expands its search scope by following links on web pages, collecting various types of information.
2. Indexing
The crawled web pages are analyzed and processed, with their content—such as text, images, and videos—extracted and stored in Google’s database. The indexing process categorizes and organizes the content to enable quick retrieval.
3. Ranking
When a user conducts a search, Google retrieves relevant content from the index and ranks the results based on various factors, such as keywords, page quality, and user location, to display the most relevant and useful web pages.
Through these three steps, Google ensures that users can quickly find high-quality search results.
Instant indexing: This allows newly released or updated web pages to be quickly discovered and included by the Google search engine, thereby displaying them in search results faster. This is particularly important for news sites, blogs, and sites that need to update content frequently, as they need to ensure that their content can be quickly found and accessed by users.
