Jezza will ask her: “Which component of a search engine is a program used to systematically discover new websites and gather information?”

Fans will watch as Bev Beesley gets off to a tricky start, using three lifelines on her way to £2,000.

However, her time in the competition is in jeopardy when she’s asked a tricky question about the world wide web.

In tonight’s episode, Jezza will ask her: “Which component of a search engine is a program used to systematically discover new websites and gather information?”

A) Ranking Algorithm

B) Database

C) Crawler

D) Search Interface

Deliberating on her choices, Bev said: “Data base is just a set of information, I think the search interface from the word interface suggests that it’s just the front of what’s happening behind the scenes.

“Crawler, I think, I know spiders have got something to do with search websites and things but I am leaving heavily towards the ranking algorithm… well no because discovering new websites and gathering new information I think the ranking algorithm determines where they comeu up in the order of the search.”

She continued: “So I think the program that has to look for that information is maybe not the ranking algorithm.”

Not confident enough with her own knowledge of the subject matter, Bev enlisted the help of Jeremy, 64.

She tells him: “I have got one lifeline left but I suspect with no disrespect that maybe not your area of expertise…”

While the audience erupted into laughter, it remains to be seen if Bev can walk away with a decent cash prize.

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire airs Sundays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
