[Rajdeep Bose]

A web crawler is a relatively simple automated program, or script, that methodically scans or "crawls" through Internet pages to create an index of the data it's looking for; these programs are usually made to be used only once, but they can be programmed for long-term usage as well. There are several uses for the program, perhaps the most popular being search engines using it to provide webs surfers with relevant websites. Crawler programs can be purchased on the Internet, or from many companies that sell computer software, and the programs can be downloaded to most computers.
