Homonym: Crawling (Movement)
Crawling is a method used by search engines like Google to discover and index content on the internet. During this process, automated programs called web crawlers or spiders systematically browse web pages, following links to gather information. This helps search engines understand the structure and relevance of websites.
Crawling is essential for maintaining up-to-date search results. When a web page is updated or new content is created, crawlers revisit the site to capture the latest information. This ensures that users receive accurate and relevant results when they search for information online.
