SERP - Search Engine Results Page

This is generally used with reference to a page returned by a search engine such as Google. I am extending its use to include the page returned in Blogger for searches made within that blog.

As the vendor of the search is the same, i.e. Google, the behavior is likely to have similar characteristics.

The following is from a post on my website: (../techwatch.ca/serp.html)

The term SERP is referred to throughout this site and is a generic term that describes the resultant list generated by all of the various search engines. The format of the lists are all different and some are of more use and informative than others.


  • How to look in Google Cache (cache_how_to)
  • Google Instant Previews (google_preview)
  • About the use of robots.txt (robots)
