I was thinking that prior to delving in SEO deeper, I might as well give you additional search engine terms which, more often than not will be used in the discussions. These are as follows:

• Non-indexed Spiders: These are small indexes which contain background information of each page - such as titles, descriptions, and keywords. Usually, this information comes from the meta tags pulled off the pages in the index.
• Search site: A Web site at which you can search through some kind of index or directory of Web sites, or perhaps both an index and directory. (In some cases, search sites allow you to search through multiple indices.) Google.com, AOL.com, and EarthLink.com are all search sites.
• Search system: An organization that possesses a combination of software, hardware, and people that is used to index or categorize Web sites — they build the index or directory you search through at a search site. Google is a search system, but AOL.com and EarthLink.com are not. In fact, if you go to AOL.com or EarthLink.com and search, you actually get Google search results.
• Search results: The information returned to you (the results of your search) when you go to a search site and search for something. Remember that in many cases, the search results don’t come from the search site you’re using, but from some other search system.
