What is a searing burner used for on a gas barbecue grill?

Andrew asked:


I purchased a gas Nexgrill from Costco as a replacement for an aging and rusting old Sunbeam gas grill. You don’t get much selection at Costco but generally get great value for the money.

At any rate the new grill came with a separate rotisserie burner and searing burner. The rotisserie burner makes sense but what is the searing burner used for. Do I “sear” something to start with and then move the meat to the main grill? How long? Why? What’s the difference between searing something and simply grilling it?

Know any good web sites for more information?

Thank you in advance.
