Just as real spiders have a trail of silk, web spiders relay all the information they have “crawled” over back to the search engine and its servers.

So when a search takes place, your site is part of the information that the search engine in question has, if the search is relevant to your site then your site will come up in the findings of the search.

So once you load with your web page with a shipping of fresh material, the spiders which have been crawling around will detect this information and relay it back to their servers.
