Search Engines are internet or web based software that take in keywords as input and return web pages as output matching various parameters related to the keyword (for example, Google).
There could be other search engines that find fares, currencies, cities, people, products etc. But the ones most popular today are the ones that provides sites or pages on sites against a particular keyword.
These search engines maintain huge databases where they store copies of billions of web pages. Search engines have special programs that roam throught he web and index pages after pages every day. The indexed pages are revisited to make a copy of the updated versions of the pages too.
Some of the popular search engines today are Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. They are web pages where you type in a word or phrase, and it looks up internet pages for you.
In its simplest form - search engines scan the internet locating information in seconds, that you or someone else is searching for. Every time you do a search, it is the search engines that are scanning the internet to locate the most relevant information that you are looking for.
