A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler.
Internet search engines themselves predate the debut of the Web in December 1990. The Whois user search dates back to 1982 and the Knowbot Information Service multi-network user search was first implemented in 1989. The first well documented search engine that searched content files, namely FTP files was Archie, which debuted on 10 September 1990.
Prior to September 1993 the World Wide Web was entirely indexed by hand. There was a list of webservers edited by Tim Berners-Lee and hosted on the CERN webserver. One historical snapshot of the list in 1992 remains, but as more and more web servers went online the central list could no longer keep up. On the NCSA site, new servers were announced under the title "What's New!"

Plot: Meta is a gritty science fiction short from first time director Matt Cameron. Written by Tom K McCarthy (Outcast 2010/11) and made for a budget of just one thousand UK pounds, this dark tale treads through fractured realities to explore the nature of addiction and questions of the self. Mark is an addict. His body wastes away while his brain is jacked into dangerous underground gaming networks. When he discovers Grace, his last link to the real world, comatose and hooked up to a new machine, he must search the dream worlds of the Metaverse to rescue her. The deeper Mark pushes himself into these virtual worlds, the more he runs the risk of losing himself completely.
