Search FAQ

Q: What is Search Indexing?

A:  Web search engines send out agents, also known as spiders, which examine a web site and compile an enormous list of URLs for all of the pages of content. Search indexing is the process of registering each page of the web site so that search results are thorough and are returned to the user as fast as possible.
