Search engines

The actual question is: What kind of tech are Internet search engines using on the front end (it looks like that`s what the part of the Internet that takes place on your computer is being called as). My personal perspective on things, feel free to skip this part: Basically a web browser is just a window, everything that takes place inside of it is pretty much just a bunch of other windows. Search engines aren`t using windows (ajax style) from the looks of it. Is it plain html or some other technology? It seems that there is a parallel between Internet windows(the stuff displayed inside a web browser) and Windows95 windows, the main difference between the two is that Internet windows doesn`t have compile time, whatever is created on the far end (back end) get displayed instantly on the near end.

The front end (Browser) is built on various systems, ASP.NET, PHP, some custom web engines. The back end is where the real work takes place, and is mostly custom built by the different companies. The basic system is just a huge database with an interface that can quickly find the items you search for. The details of the architecture itself is proprietary to the search companies. The results of the search are sent to the browser as HTML/Javascript for rendering on the client screen. The difference between Web windows and Desktop windows is purely in the technology used to build the display. Desktop windows usually work directly with the operating system libraries. Web windows need an interface (the Browser) to translate the HTML and Javascript dynamically into local Windows display code. If you type
chrome://version/into Chrome's address bar it lists some of the tools it uses. Firefox, Bing etc. probably have similar displays. -

Is there a line constantly open (from the moment a login has taken place) that the far end computer is listening to, (in the likes of a never ending session), or is there an identifier attributed to every message coming from the user facebook page so that when the message arrives and is being processed it is treated as safe/with no security checks needed (like no need for user to log in for every message that is being sent)? thanks

When the user logs in, the system sends a token back to the browser. The browser then sends that token with every further message so the back end system knows which account it belongs to. That is an over simplification and in reality it may be more complicated to ensure security.

again, thanks for feedback Richard

From Search engine let's move to a simple website. How a website work 1st understand this. Every search engine use their own algorithm to minimize space and time of user so they get their best things in second, so if they use windows space then how could it do task in micro nano seconds? That's also raise many question. But working may not be defined.

" That depends upon who owns or operates that search engine. This can vary a lot depending on which search engine you use and which operating system you use and what is already on your computer. Two very different examples: (1.) If you are on a duckduckgo.com search engine, on a device without any UEFI anywhere on it, and your operating system is pre-Windows XP with service pack 3 (meaning before service pack 3), or your operating system is UNIX, or VMS VAX, or some flavor of Unix without the newly added back-doors, then they probably use cookies for as much as they can, without too much invasion of your privacy. (2.) If you are using a Google search engine, on a device with a Google controlled operating system, then they might be already key logging all of your act ivies (via UEFI), and using your camera to make a video of your activates (via UEFI), and using your microphone and/or your device's speaker and/or your device's headphones (via UEFI), on that device and already sending that data to Google, and they might be using that data to pre-judge what they decide that you should be allowed to ask and what they decide that you should be allowed to see and what they decide that you should be allowed to hear on your device. Thank you for asking.
