Topics Search Engines Directories give one possibility for making information accessible. Another is to provide the tools to search a database. The ones used on the Web all have information collected from Web pages and some also contain items from Usenet newsgroups, Gopher menus, and other resources. The database is built by a robot, software that goes throughout the Web from URL to URL gathering information that's indexed in the database. Some of the search engines index only the title and the URL for a Web page, some do full-text indexing, some retrieve the most important concepts of a Web page.
