Re: Can search engine
Yes you can create a search engine that does not use meta tags, but why would you?
Yes you can get your site indexed by search engines without using meta tags, but it's harder to get indexed properly and effectively.
When a search engine crawls a website, it reads all of it's code and content where it can. It then runs it through the search engine's algorithms and creates a listing in the database so as to display it where it belongs in the SERPS. (Search Engine Results PageS) Without meta tags, you are relying on a computer to determine what your keywords are, what your website's title is, what to display in the search results under your website URL and title as the description. These are the important factors as to why you want meta tags, but there are many others as well, like the author tag to claim your ownership and build an online reputation across multiple website, to show relationships with other websites / people online, and much more. They are a way to provide information and instructions in a particular manner as established by the Internet's powers that be for the online world (such as W3C, ICANN, and others) to ensure accurate information be provided to users and be accessible by machines for indexing such as in search engines.
