The engine was seeded with results from MSN to get it started. The results are then put into a database and stored on the server. Each keyword has it's own database so it's not really a true search engine, it's more like a massive top 100 list that the users can control.

When new pages are added to the databases using the submission form, the new pages get an extra push to the top of the results giving new pages a chance to get traffic right away.

If the new pages are junk, people will eventually vote the bad or not relevant pages to the bottom and the good pages will rise to the top.

I also realized that there are alot of relevant pages that will not get a chance to rank #1 so I added a random "Site of the Moment" so all sites will get ranked #1 sometimes regardless of votes.
