Spam refers to unwanted messages, usually sent in bulk, often for advertising purposes. These messages are typically irrelevant or inappropriate to the recipient and are sent to large numbers of people without their consent. Spam can appear in various forms, such as emails, text messages, or even social media posts. It is often considered a nuisance and can clutter inboxes, leading to a loss of productivity. Many email services have spam filters to automatically detect and move these messages to a separate folder.

What is a "search engine"?

A search engine is a tool that helps people find information on the Internet by searching for keywords or phrases. It works by organizing web pages and storing information about them. When a user enters a search term, the search engine looks through its stored information and displays a list of web pages that are most relevant to the search. Popular search engines include Google, Bing, and Yahoo. They often provide additional features like images, videos, and news alongside text-based results, making it easier for users to find what they are looking for.
