What is parsing? (And differences from search and grep?
<p>What exactly is parsing? I mean, generally. How different is parsing different from searching? On command line, if I use the grep tool/command; is that parsing?</p>

<p>For example, if I have just one string:</p>

<p>"Hello world! How are you doing today?"</p>

<p>and I tried to search (using grep or any other tool) whether the word "you" is within that string; is that parsing?</p>

<p>What if I do a web search; for example in Google? Is that parsing?</p>

<p>Or is parsing the name of the process that is a part of the process known as "Search"?</p>
