What type of software is used to run a search engine?

Database Management System (DBMS)
Operating system
Word processing
Search engine platform

The correct answer is: Search engine platform

A Database Management System (DBMS) is used to organize and manage large amounts of data, but it is not specifically designed to run a search engine. An operating system is the primary software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for other computer programs, so it does not directly run a search engine. Word processing software is used for creating and editing documents, so it is also not the correct answer. A search engine platform refers to the underlying software and technology that powers a search engine, making it the most accurate choice.
