Search engine is a web site server that collects and organizes content from all over the internet.Those wishing to locate something would enter a query about what they'd like to find and the engine provides links to content that matches what they want. Most search engines allow the user to join terms with and, or, and not to refine queries. They may also search specifically for images, videos, or news articles or for names of Web sites.

SEO is a technique which helps search engines find and rank your site higher than the millions of other sites in response to a search query. SEO thus helps you get traffic from search engines.

Search engines are programs that search documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. A search engine is really a general class of programs, however, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Google, Bing and Yahoo! Search that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web.

A search engine is a set of programs used to search for information within a specific realm and collate that information in a database. People often use this term in reference to Internet search engines, which are specifically designed to search the Internet, but they can also be devised for offline content, such as a library catalog, the contents of a personal hard drive, or a catalog of museum collections. These programs help people to organize and display information in a way that makes it readily accessible.

Information on the web is not collected and organized in any
meaningful way - it is a vast reservoir of articles, ads, propaganda, opinions
of every variety, full text books, government documents, and so much more.
A search engine will allow you to search for information found on the web
using simple keywords, but they lack the advanced search capabilities
provide by most databases. Also, most information found on the web has not
gone through the editorial process - anyone can "publish" whatever they like
on the web. Consequently, there is no guarantee that information found on
the web is credible or reliable.
