Understanding Search Algorithms

Search engines use searching algorithms to help users find relevant information on the internet.
These algorithms analyze web pages and rank them based on their relevance and importance.

How PageRank Works

PageRank is a search algorithm developed by Google that ranks web pages based on the number and quality of links pointing to them.

Link Analysis:
1. PageRank assumes that a page is important if it is linked to by other important pages.
2. It treats a link from one page to another as a "vote" of confidence.
Iterative Calculation:
1. PageRank assigns a score to each page, starting with an equal score for all pages.
2. The score is updated iteratively based on the scores of pages linking to it.
Damping Factor:
1. To prevent infinite loops, PageRank uses a damping factor (usually around 0.85).
