How do search engines like Google pick things up??

I was just 'doodling', and entered 'Delboy' into Google, and after a couple of pages about Delboy Trotter, there was this:

View the profile of DelBoyView the profile of DelBoy. ... Name: DelBoy. Posts: 1245 (0.700 per day). Position: Club Arnage God. Date Registered: April 12, 2003, 05:30:46 pm ...
www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=15 - 14k - Cached - Similar pages

If you click on the link, it takes you to the relevant profile within CA.

I tried a couple of other names (nopanic, Rick Cutler) and they also have an 'entry'. Also tried Smokie as well but got thousands of pages about some singer, and more thousands about Arbroath Smokies - could all be the same person I suppose   ;D

Weird   :-\ :-\

as far as i understand google takes 'snapshots' of as many webpages as it possibly can. these snapshots are saved in the link below each result under 'cache'.
looking for 2 General Admission tickets for 2023 24H Le Mans race only but will buy anything available.
