- Agatha's first working clank, built in her sleep after her locket was stolen, from parts lying around Clay Mechanical. It was programmed with two main instructions: first, find one (or both) of the thieves by examining every person encountered; second, when a thief is found, bring him back to Clay Mechanical. As a first creation for a Spark beginning to break through, this was considered rather benign.

| - A search engine starts with a list of one or more websites. The engine then requests the home page from each site on its list. When a home page is retrieved that has links to yet other pages, the search engine requests a copy of each of those pages that these links point to. And if those pages in turn contain links to yet more pages, the search software requests a copy of those pages. And so on, day after day, ceaselessly. At its most basic level, a search engine maintains a list, for every word, of all known Web pages containing that word. The collection of lists is known as an "keyword index." Search engines vary according to the size of the index, the frequency of updating the index, the search options, the speed of returning a result, the relevancy of the results, and the overall ease of use. No two search engines work the same way. In practice, most search engines do not exhaustively cover all possible websites. In addition, some search engines pass along material for review by human editors, who rate the pages retrieved on a variety of scales — quality, appropriateness for families, and so on. The creation of such an annotated index obviously takes longer than it does to create a comparable unannotated index. Search engines are the primary means by which Internet users can find digital information. However, it must be remembered that a search engine is NOT searching the Internet as it exists at the time of the search, but is only searching the search engine's database, which may be days or weeks out of date at any given point in time. Search engines regularly return to the web pages they have indexed to look for changes. When changes occur, the database is updated to reflect the new information. However, the process of updating can take a while, depending upon how often the search engine makes it rounds and then, how promptly the information it gathers is added to the database. Until a page has been both spidered and indexed, the new information will not be available. Thus, the more often a search engine checks for changes, the more accurate its search results will be. The accuracy of search results is directly proportional to how many web pages the search engine indexes. The more web pages the search engine indexes, the more accurate and complete will be the search results. The accuracy of the search results also depends on how often the search engine indexes web pages. The more often the search engine indexes the web pages, the more accurate the search results will be. A recent area of development is search engines that are specifically designed to build profiles of individuals based on personal data found on the Internet.

- A Search Engine is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system or on the Net. Search engines help to minimize the time required to find information and the amount of information which must be consulted. Search Engines have some means of transportation that they are bonded to, such as a boat or surfboard. There is no difference between the Search Engine person or the Search Engine boat or surfboard. A second generation Search Engine is capable of traveling in the Web. These search engines are sometimes refered to as Web Surfers. Search Engines are not linked to particular systems like system sprites or binomes. They will operate out of a system for business, but they are not linked to the systems Principal Office. The only two Search Engines ever seen were Maxine and Ray Tracer.
- A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input. A very popular search engine is Google. Web search engines work by storing information about many web pages, which they retrieve from the HTML itself. These pages are retrieved by a Web crawler — an automated Web browser which follows every link on the site. Exclusions can be made by the use of robots.txt. The contents of each page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed. Data about web pages are stored in an index database for use in later queries. A query can be a single word. The purpose of an index is to allow information to be found as quickly as possible. Some search engines, such as Google, store all or part of the source page as well as information about the web pages, whereas others, such as AltaVista, store every word of every page they find. This cached page always holds the actual search text since it is the one that was actually indexed, so it can be very useful when the content of the current page has been updated and the search terms are no longer in it. This problem might be considered to be a mild form of linkrot, and Google's handling of it increases usability by satisfying user expectations that the search terms will be on the returned webpage. This satisfies the principle of least astonishment since the user normally expects the search terms to be on the returned pages. Increased search relevance makes these cached pages very useful, even beyond the fact that they may contain data that may no longer be available elsewhere. When a user enters a query into a search engine, the engine examines its index and provides a listing of best-matching web pages according to its criteria, usually with a short summary containing the document's title and sometimes parts of the text. The index is built from the information stored with the data and the method by which the information is indexed. Unfortunately, there are currently no known public search engines that allow documents to be searched by date. Most search engines support the use of the boolean operators AND, OR and NOT to further specify the search query. Boolean operators are for literal searches that allow the user to refine and extend the terms of the search. The engine looks for the words or phrases exactly as entered. Some search engines provide an advanced feature called proximity search which allows users to define the distance between keywords. There is also concept-based searching where the research involves using statistical analysis on pages containing the words or phrases you search for. As well, natural language queries allow the user to type a question in the same form one would ask it to a human. A site like this would be ask.com. The usefulness of a search engine depends on the relevance of the result set it gives back. While there may be millions of web pages that include a particular word or phrase, some pages may be more relevant, popular, or authoritative than others. Most search engines employ methods to rank the results to provide the "best" results first. How a search engine decides which pages are the best matches, and what order the results should be shown in, varies widely from one engine to another. The methods also change over time as Internet usage changes and new techniques evolve. There are two main types of search engine that have evolved: one is a system of predefined and hierarchically ordered keywords that humans have programmed extensively. The other is a system that generates an "inverted index" by analyzing texts it locates. This second form relies much more heavily on the computer itself to do the bulk of the work. Most Web search engines are commercial ventures supported by advertising revenue and, as a result, some employ the practice of allowing advertisers to pay money to have their listings ranked higher in search results. Those search engines which do not accept money for their search engine results make money by running search related ads alongside the regular search engine results. The search engines make money every time someone clicks on one of these ads.

* Search engines with so-called "robots" which search for new websites through links: Google, Yahoo!, Alexa, exalead 2.
* Meta-search_engines which don't have any database of its own, but which automatically requests the same query at several external online search engines: ixquick, dogpile, SurfWax 3.
* Specific search engines with or without its own database searching for specific informations(news-spider.com, picsearch.com, PeekYou), displaying results in an unique way(Clusty, Quintura, Kartoo) or converting/adding queries intelligently(hakia, accoona, ChaCha)
