what information is pulled up when immigration officers scan your passport photo page in airports when traveling internationally?

Is it an entire database of your travel history and criminal record and how do immigration officers use it to determine if you can enter or leave a country? What red flags can pop up from your passport photo/bio page? Cheers!

In an episode of some Australian immigration reality TV show, the immigration offer sensed something was up and referred the guy for extra checks.

The supervisor literally Googled the guy’s name and found a news story about a conviction he had. The traveller didn’t declare it on the visa. The supervisor went back to the traveller and made out how he ‘checked on his computer’ and got him to confess.
