RESUMEN [ABSTRACT]

We present the main characteristics of the Web, including its size, structure, and languages. We describe the main tools currently available to search the Web and illustrate the technology behind them through a few examples. The best use of the wealth of information available on the Web will depend on whether these technologies will evolve as fast as the Web grows.
