Search engines utilize special software called robots or spiders.
They will essentially go to every address listed in your site. A true search engine will only need the Web address. The spider will take care of the rest. The difference between a search engine and a directory is that a directory will not list your URL if you do not register it with them. They do not make use of software spiders.
