Üldotsemootorid, often translated as general-purpose search engines, are software systems designed to search vast amounts of information on the World Wide Web and present relevant results to users. These engines work by employing complex algorithms that crawl the internet, index web pages, and then rank them based on various factors when a user enters a query.

The process typically begins with web crawlers, also known as spiders or bots, that systematically browse the web by following hyperlinks. As they visit pages, they gather information about their content, including text, images, and metadata. This gathered data is then sent to an indexer, which organizes and stores the information in a massive database.

When a user submits a search query, the search engine's algorithms analyze the query and compare it against its index. The ranking algorithms consider hundreds of factors, such as keyword relevance, the authority and popularity of a website (often measured by backlinks), and the user's location and search history, to determine which pages are most likely to satisfy the user's intent.

The results are then presented to the user in a ranked list, often accompanied by snippets of text from the relevant pages. Prominent examples of general-purpose search engines include Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, each with its own proprietary algorithms and features. These engines are fundamental tools for navigating the internet, enabling users to find information, products, and services quickly and efficiently.
