How do search engines rank the stuff they find on the internet?
Although search engines work in different ways, they all have one thing in common. This commonality is called a web crawler, it retrieves information from websites and saves it in their database. The reason they differ is because Google stores only main important phrases, whilst something like Altavista stores all information. Another factor that determines order is the success of the website (or the number of hits the website has had).
Who, or what, makes one page (that you might get in your search results) more useful than another one, so that it is put at the top of your search results?
This is determined by the popularity of the website, as well as how relevant the searched words are with the information in the website.
What are some of your favourite search engines?
Why do you like one more than others?
My favourite search engine (and the only one is ever use) is www.google.com, i find it the most popular one, so it should have the most results on it right? Its also easy to use and always seems to be the homepage for computers. Sounds good to me.
