A search engine is a site where you type in whatever you want to look for, and it will come up with sites that fit with your search description (search results). 2 well known ones are Google (www.google.com) and Yahoo (www.yahoo.com). To implement a search engine into your site, you will need to look for it on the Search Engine's homepage for the HTML code.

In order for your website to show up on search engines, you need to submit it. Here are some links for doing so on Yahoo and Google. Basically, you give them your URL, and their software will index the content so that it can return you as a search result.\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html\nhttp://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Why don't you use a search engine?

(Don't Forget MSN!)...\n\nBefore I launch into descriptions of the sites, here's the list of the search engines worth looking at:\n\nGoogle http://www.google.com\nYahoo! http://www.yahoo.com\nMSN http://www.msn.com\nDogpile http://www.dogpile.com\nAskJeeves http://www.askjeeves.com and Teoma http://www.teoma.com\nHotBot http://www.hotbot.com\nAltavista http://www.altavista.com\nGigablast http://www.gigablast.com\nLooksmart http://www.looksmart.com\n\nYou wanted other search engines besides Google and Yahoo!, something clean and effective. Truth be told, they are both clean and effective and have an excellent index of web pages to search from.\nFrom the top:\n\n\nIn the "Big Three" you have\nGoogle http://www.google.com\nThis engine seems to be the top choice for searchers because of its clean layout, record-setting number of indexed pages, and intellegent ordering of results. Also popular about it is the way you can enter questions into it, such as math questions and movie times. You can access a list of all the cool stuff you can do in Google Search at http://www.google.com/help/features.html .\n\nYahoo! http://www.yahoo.com\nis also a popular choice for the exact same reasons. It has a slightly different but just as clean layout. It too, provides excellent results,  Yahoo! also has a large number of in-search features, listed at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/tips/tips-01.html. Some people don't like how the main page for Yahoo! search has other things on it. However, a perfectly clean page which has only Yahoo! search can be found at http://search.yahoo.com .\n\nMSN http://www.msn.com\nTotally revamped in the recent years, Microsoft Search is an excellent search engine with great results as well. MSN also has a "clean" search page at http://search.msn.com\n\nThen the more minor (but still useful!) engines: \n\nDogPile http://www.dogpile.com\nThis engine is not actually an engine at all- the site is a "metasearch" site, which means that it grabs results from a great number of search engine and displays them all. A good choice if you're looking for something that probably won't come up in most engines. However, it is a bad choice for general searches, because you'll end up having the same results as you would have had by asking any of the popular engines.\n\nAskJeeves http://www.askjeeves.com\nAsk Jeeves initially gained fame a while back by letting you search by asking questions and responded with what seemed to be the right answer to everything. Behind the scenes about 100 editors who monitored search logs and programmed the engine to respond with the right answer next time the question was asked. Nowadays it relies on a regular search engine, known as...\n\nTeoma http://www.teoma.com\nIt has a smaller index of the web than Google and Yahoo. However, being large doesn't make much of a difference when it comes to the more popular searches, and Teoma is known to provide relevant results for the searches. Some people also like its "Refine" feature, which offers suggested topics to explore after you do a search and the "Resources" section of results which points you to pages that specifically serve as link resources about various topics.\n\nAllTheWeb http://www.alltheweb.com\nYou mentioned clean and effective. Well, since Yahoo! bought out AllTheWeb, they've used it as a "cleaner" look for the exact same results of what you'd get with Yahoo!\n\nHotBot http://www.hotbot.com\nHotBot simply lists the results from Google, Yahoo!, and Teoma. Unlike a metasearcher, HotBot does not combine the results.\n\nGigablast http://www.gigablast.com\nThis search engine has a very small database, and not much used. The only thing worth mentioning is that it has complete reports on when a page was last indexed and modified.\n\nLycos http://www.lycos.com\nLycos is one of the oldest search engines on the internet. Nowadays, it gathers its results

ok..... \nwell, starting your own search engine doesn't require much of an effort. \n\nJust start hosting a website. Set up initial pages using a server side scripting language. \n\nDownload and install Crawlers on your server. \n\nAdvertise your search engine and let the crawlers do their job..\n\nThen you can expand on the start !

"Web search engines work by storing information about a large number of web pages, which they retrieve from the WWW itself. These pages are retrieved by a web crawler (sometimes also known as a spider) — an automated web browser which follows every link it sees. The contents of each page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed (for example, words are extracted from the titles, headings, or special fields called meta tags). Data about web pages is stored in an index database for use in later queries. Some search engines, such as Google, store all or part of the source page (referred to as a cache) as well as information about the web pages, whereas some store every word of every page it finds, such as AltaVista. This cached page always holds the actual search text since it is the one that was actually indexed, so it can be very useful when the content of the current page has been updated and the search terms are no longer in it. This problem might be considered to be a mild form of linkrot, and Google's handling of it increases usability by satisfying user expectations that the search terms will be on the returned web page. This satisfies the principle of least astonishment since the user normally expects the search terms to be on the returned pages. Increased search relevance makes these cached pages very useful, even beyond the fact that they may contain data that may no longer be available elsewhere."

It's called Google. Or Yahoo. Or any other search engine.

well i am a web developer/programmer. I don't really know who did it but i can suggest what is hapening from my knowledge. \nYou see the way search engines works is by searching keywords against websites which have meta information on every web page. I took a look at the web page which came up and found no such keywords in the meta tags ("failure"). this would then imply that it must be someone elses website that has that specific keyword "failure" as its meta information and when you it the home page it would re-direct you to President Bush's Link on the White House website.

You can have a look at the advanced search operators to do the most effective search. The majority of these work for most engines.

Search engines are very complex software which require immensely complex programming. It also requires a great deal of space for a database, depending on how many pages you would like to index in your search engine.\n\nIf you have a small website, and you just want to design a small engine that only lists that pages in your site, I suggest you do a Yahoo or a Google on "build your own search engine". I once did that, and found a small piece of software (for free) which indexes the pages for you and generates the complex code.\n\nIf you want to create something more powerful, like a search bot or web spider, I have very little to say. I've been looking into that for a long time myself, with little success. However, visit http://www.thebananatree.org/ They provide extensive information on many types of search engines. Be ware, it won't be easy!\n\nHope I could help...

google is a program that reads a list of keywords, looks at their meta-tags if available, and reports what it found to a separate listing it keeps.  then when you search from google, you are looking at a list of pages that the google program found to have that keyword or set of keywords.\n\nwhile most of it is automatic, google can take "suggestions" for places to look for new pages, and it can read a paragraph or introduction to a site into the report it makes.
