How Google works (1 of 7)
• Google is comprised of three distinct parts
– Googlebot
– Indexer
– Query processor
• Each part has its own specific and unique function.
![Page 17: Introduction to Digital Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a86e760da3da068b642c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How Google works (2 of 7)
• Googlebot
– Composed of 1000’s of computers engaged in parallel processing:
• Requests & retrieves 1000’s of different pages simultaneously; does this two ways
– “Add URL” forms
– Find links via web crawling
» Fresh crawls
» Deep crawls
![Page 18: Introduction to Digital Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a86e760da3da068b642c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How Google works (3 of 7)
• Indexer
– Receives full texts of pages from Googlebot; stores them in databases
– Index sorts search terms alphabetically
• Ignores “stop words”
• Converts all text to lower-case
– Each entry in index stores list of documents with that search term and also the location within the text of that search term
![Page 19: Introduction to Digital Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a86e760da3da068b642c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Multiple parts

How Google works (6 of 7) (It’s a popularity contest… sort of)
• PageRank – Link analysis algorithm
– Page with higher rank displays higher in results list
– Google uses over 100 factors to determine rank
– How is PR calculated? • Basically, the more times that a page is linked to
determines its PR
– Built from this algorithm, which is used iteratively:
» PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + … + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

Safeguarding your Digital Life:
Privacy vs. Security
![Page 31: Introduction to Digital Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a86e760da3da068b642c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Safeguarding your Digital Life: privacy
• Privacy describes “the way in which we gather, store, use, share, and delete data… helps us to understand what is permissible and inappropriate with regards to our usage of data. ”
![Page 32: Introduction to Digital Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a86e760da3da068b642c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Safeguarding your Digital Life : security
Information security relates to “the confidentiality, integrity and access to data. Information security is born from the technological and procedural controls that we place around our data to achieve these goals.”
![Page 33: Introduction to Digital Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a86e760da3da068b642c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Varying levels of privacy AND
security
