Hi! I'm brand shiny new to search engines and am not clear on how this engine searches external domains relative to 'my' domain.

Does it follow links from 'my' domain (let's say www.mine.com) to external domains (let's say www.outside.com)? Thus if I have a link to an external domain will it follow that link and index those pages also? If so can I set the depth it searches on those domains?

In relation to this can I simply set it to search only www.mine.com and not follow external links? Can I set a list of 20 domains and have it index only those domains?

Phew...hope that is clear!

Thanks.
