These two things are done by search engine like google.com
First they crawl / download some webpage and analyse it
Second, they add the webpage to their index / database which is used to supply search results when one is searching

When search engine crawlers visit any link is called crawling and when crawlers save or index that links in search engine database is called indexing.
