Web search engine

A web search engine or Internet search engine is a software system that provides hyperlinks to web pages and other relevant information on the Web in response to a user's query. Users submit their queries through a web browser or a mobile app, and the results page generally displays a collection of hyperlinks together with brief descriptions and relevant images. Users also have the option of limiting a search to specific types of results, such as images, videos, or news.
