stupid internet question

I was recently looking for a site I read a long time ago. I put in some search strings into google that I thought would point to it and they did. But the site is no longer up. So my question is this: how does a search engine find text of websites and then point to said websites that in fact no longer exist?

See the link that says "Cached"? Thats a stored version of the website on google's harddrives. Thats what they search off of, and you can click that if the website goes down to still see some stuff.

You know they should catalog that stuff from time to time.

I bet people 100 years from now might find it interesting to research.
