	Spamdexing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spamdexing or search engine spamming is the practice of deliberately creating web pages which will be indexed by search engines in order to increase the chance of a website or page being placed close to the beginning of search engine results, or to influence the category to which the page is assigned.
		Search engine spammers, on the other hand, are generally aware that the content that they promote is not very useful or relevant to the ordinary internet surfer.
		Since some search engines base the importance of sites by the number of different sites linking to them, referer-log spam may be used to increase the search engine rankings of the spammer's sites, by getting the referer logs of many sites to link to them.

	Webopedia: How Web Search Engines Work
		Search engines are the key to finding specific information on the vast expanse of the World Wide Web.
		When people use the term search engine in relation to the Web, they are usually referring to the actual search forms that searches through databases of HTML documents, initially gathered by a robot.
		There are basically three types of search engines: Those that are powered by robots (called crawlers; ants or spiders) and those that are powered by human submissions; and those that are a hybrid of the two.

	Search Engines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The AltaVista search engine was developed by Digital Equipment Corporation's System's Research Center as part of a project dealing with content-based retrieval of very large bases of information (such as all the USENET news feeds or the entire World-Wide Web).
		Searching for phrases (words next to each other) or proximity searches (keywords within N words of each other) is not possible without knowing the location of the words within the content stream.
		Searching the index for a keyword is done by opening an index in read-only mode and then issuing a search command to the index object.

	Web Search Engines, Invisible Web, Metasearch, All-in-One pages, Web Search Software
		The line has gotten blurred between search engines and subject directories, as search engines include directories (often licensed from Open Directory Project) and directories include search options.
		The so-called invisible Web is data that's locked up in databases, or it's in non-text formats, but in either case, it's hidden from search engines.
		Some of these sites (also known as metasearch engines) let you search several search engines all at once; others list many search engines on a single page (these are sometimes called all-in-one pages).
