This may be a silly question but where it shows who is on line what are spiders?

Spider is a chat room program, but I think that's spelled in another way?

It can also be a program that indexes websites for a search engine helping you to retrieve the Web page you want.

Meaning that Google uses a spider program that looks for the keywords you type in and then shows you the most likely result.

"It can also be a program that indexes websites for a search engine helping you to retrieve the Web page you want."

Correct.

thanks for the info. sorry to be so dense (i've yet to master text messaging on my cell phone!) to clarify then, 5 spiders online indicates 5 people who found their way here via a google-esk experience?

i'm so technologically impaired that i can't even imagine what i don't know - unlike mathematics, for example!

so stuck in the '70s,
