Spiders, also known as crawlers or bots, are automated programs that crawl the web in attempt to catalogue every web page by topic. They collect data on web pages and index them, allowing search engines to retrieve the information when users perform a search. Applets, search engines, and application keyword finders may be related to web crawling or indexing, but they are not used to specifically catalogue every web page by topic.
