Difference between index and crawl

[rajivdevkk]

You have put up good question about the difference between index and crawl. there are some difference between crawling and indexing. crawling means, when search engines download a pages and saved it database, it's called crawling and when the search engines save the database to show results, it's called search indexing.

Crawling is the process of reading the data on the page, indexing is putting this data (and other meta data) in the search engines database (index).

Thanks, you are right, i agree with you.

Crawling and indexing both have similar meaning. While crawling reads the information, indexing registers them in the search engine database.

Google crawls your site and then indexes what it sees as a cached version of the page.
The page may change in design before they crawl and then reindex the new page hence the term cache is used as almost a caveat to say that the page may've changed since they crawled it.
If your webpages aren't crawled then they can't be indexed. Making sure your site can be crawled by bots is a priority. Set up a Google Webmaster Tools account and then submit a XML sitemap to help Google crawl and index it.
Hope that helps.
