digital information retrieval

Digital information retrieval is the process of finding and obtaining relevant data from large computer-based collections, like search engines or databases. When you use a search engine, it quickly scans through massive amounts of stored information—web pages, documents, images—to identify and present the most relevant results based on your query. This involves converting your request into a form the system can understand, searching through indexed content efficiently, and ranking results by relevance. Essentially, it enables us to access specific information swiftly from extensive digital sources.
