Okay now the second part...
A search engine is a database situated on the internet that basically helps you search the entire web for a particular topic. By typing words and sentances into the search engine you can easily access anything over the entire internet.
The ranking of a search engine works by using any the combination of the words typed in to obtain the most informable websites. I personnally like Google search engine the best simply because i find it the easiest to access and use.
WHEW.... now time for a ciggy :)
