        abstract = {For hundreds of years the mankind has organized information in order to make it more accessible to the others. The last media born to globally provide information is the Internet. With the Web, in particular, the name of the Internet has spread all over the World. Due to its impressive size and its high dynamicity, when we need to search for information on the Web, usually we begin by querying a Web Search Engine. A Web Search Engine maintains and catalogs the content of Web pages in order to make them easier to find and browse. Even though the various Search Engines are similar, each one of them differentiates from the other by the methods for scouring, storing, and retrieving information from the Web. Usually Search Engines search through Web pages for specified keywords. In response they return a list containing those documents containing the specified keywords. This list is sorted by relevance criteria which try to put at the very first positions the documents that best match the user’s query. The usefulness of a search engine to most people, in fact, is based on the relevance of results it gives back.
This paper tries to explain the functioning of web search engines, their internal structure and develop a search enginewhich ranks the document according to the searched keyword},
