How Google Search Works (in 5 minutes)

A short video about how Google Search works, including how Google’s software indexes the web, ranks sites, flags spam, and serves up results. There’s also a part about a lasagna festival.

Google: *In 5 minutes*

My bad Internet connection: *Evil laugh*

I love how your home page is so clean for all these years, never changed.

[TheAIEpiphany]

Me: "Googles - Is my data handled appropriately by Google?"
Google: awkward pause, *coughs in googlish*, no results

3:38 no Google, they are just checking their internet! :P

[WalidKhan]

I like how conveniently Google skipped the part about tracking your behavior on the web to modify search results.

Everybody: _Lasagna_

Me, an intellectual: _Do a barrel roll_

Your next Google search: Lasagna

At Google Headquarters:
"Why is everyone searching google for lasagna?"

[PythonPlusPlus]

Looks like google is trying to avoid another Congress situation where they had to teach congress how the internet works.

The points we got from this video:

1. Relevance -> but until now, I don't know what the metric is
2. Fresh Content

One question, Google always tells people to create a quality content, but why the scraped article still emerge, and the most useful one is not even ranked?
So basically, Google wants to simplify their algorithm, because people in the future will always be creating a unique article?

nah there’s a little man in your computer that looks everything up himself

[xuniverse]

google: lasagna


pewdiepie: *has joined the chat*

I wrote "what do you mean?"

Google said : do you mean what do you mean ?

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Kinda cool how they chose lasagna as an example, now some of us are hungry
