I am quite new to these matters, and I have a maybe quite naïve doubt.
Think of Google, for example. How is it arranged for millions of users around the world to search its database at the same time? Is it somehow programmed with threads?

Thanks in advance for any attempt to answer my question...

Regards,

S.

You have multiple servers handling the connections, each using a web-server program that is designed to handle multiple connections. Whether those are multi-threaded or not depends on the particular server software used.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
