How do search engines rank what they find?
Generally the results will be ranked depending on the most related sources which are categorised by matching keywords. Some search engines will highlight the words from most related to least related, others will give you a percentage in regards to a match.
What or who makes one page more useful than another, so that it is at the top of the search results?
Organisation of the webpage generally helps for example in topics, so you aren't lead to a big chunk of writing and have to scour through the information looking for the piece you want to know especially doing activities such as the Scavenger Hunt.
Favourite search engine? why?
I use Google to assisst me in my quest for finding answers. Easy to interpret, navigate and well presented with many other features such as books and scholar so the search can become alot more specific and make the whole process a little quicker.
