• Google's success is mainly due to a patented algorithm called PageRank that helps rank web pages that match a given search string.

• The exact percentage of the total of web pages that Google indexes are not known.

• All the other competitors use keyword- based methods of ranking search results

HOW GOOGLE WORKS

core features in Google Instant:Dynamic Results - Google dynamically displays relevant search results as you type so you can quickly interact and click through to the web content need.

Predictions - One of the key technologies in Google Instant is that it predict the rest of the query (in light gray text) before finish typing

Scroll to search - Scroll through predictions and see results instantly for each as you arrow down.

PigeonRank OverviewThe heart of Google's search technology is PigeonRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University.

low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based algorithms.

GOOGLE IN 3 ASPECTS

Technology

Society

TECHNOLOGY ASPECT

Google consists of three distinct parts with fast parallel processing.

Googlebot, a web crawler that finds and fetches web pages.

The Indexer that sorts and stores the resulting index of words in a huge database.

The Query Processor, compares the search query to the index and recommends the documents that it considers most relevant.

TECHNOLOGY ASPECT

GOOGLE Technology overview

 Relevance:

Technology that determined the “importance” of a webpage by looking at what other pages link to it, as well as other data.

Comprehensiveness

Google launched in 1998 with just 25 million pages, which even then was a small fraction of the web. Today Google index billions and billions of webpages, and our index is roughly 100 million gigabytes. We continue investing to expand the comprehensiveness of its services.

Freshness

Googlebots continually crawling the web ensuring that you can find the latest news, blogs and status updates minutes or even seconds after they’re posted.

Speed

Google’s average query response time is roughly one-fourth of a second. In comparison, the average blink of an eye is one-tenth of a second. Speed is a major search priority. In addition to smart coding, on the back end we’ve developed distributed computing systems around that globe that ensure you get fast response times. With technologies like autocomplete and Google Instant, Google help you find the search terms and results you’re looking for before you’re even finished typing.

Google security and product safety Reporting security issues

Google user and have a security issue to report regarding your personal Google account, Google has a different kind of vulnerability reward program that encourages people to find and report security bugs in Google’s web applications.

Android and Security

Google Trends, compare the world’s interest in your favorite topics.

Google Trends shows users’ propensity to search for a certain topic on Google on a relative basis

 Google Trends also shows how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories, and in which geographic regions people have searched for them most.

Google Trends analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter, relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time (Search Volume Index)

o The data Trends produces may contain inaccuracies for a number of reasons, including data-sampling issues and a variety of approximations that are used to compute results.

o Google Trends uses IP address information from our server logs to make a best guess about where queries originated. Language information is determined by the language version of the Google site where the search originated

o The information provided by Trends is updated daily, and Hot Searches is updated hourly.

o  the results Google Trends displays are produced entirely by an automated formula. As an additional measure, Trends only returns results for terms that receive a significant amount of search traffic.

Google Maps’ Street View Helps Fight Crime!

Police use Google’s Street View product to locate and rescue. Using the GPS coordinates of the cell phone (obtained from the cell phone carrier every time the phone was activated), police were able to retrieve street view and satellite images which enabled them to survey the area ahead of time and guess which building, exact locationSo with help from Google, a crime can be averted.

Google ChromeEnhanced viewing of source code. 

viewing the source code of a web page, not only does it open in a new tab, but Chrome also shows developers a screen reminiscent of a code editor. It shows numbers lines of HTML code, with different colors designating different types of source code. You can also click any link in the source code to preview in a new tab. This includes stylesheets, javascript, and images.

Built in task manager. 

you can see the full memory usage of the browser as a whole, as well as the usage for each individual page. And it even enables you to end a process. In the case that you want more comprehensive stats on the running processes, you can click on the Stats for nerds link, which also provides additional stats on any other open browsers.

Additional features of Google Search application

Quick Access to Google. Launch Google without having to navigate to google.com.

Search by voice.* Speak your queries instead of typing them.

My Location. Avoid typing your current location when searching for nearby businesses (e.g. "pizza" or "starbucks").

Autocomplete. Search and get a list of predictions displayed in a drop-down menu below the search box.

Search history. Quickly search again for queries you recently performed.

Google Public DNS: 70 billion requests a day and counting

o Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider.

o DNS acts like the phone book of the Internet. If you had to look up hundreds or thousands of phone numbers every day, you’d want a directory that was fast, secure and correct. That’s what Google Public DNS provides for tens of millions of people.

o Google Public DNS has become particularly popular for our users internationally. Today, about 70 percent of its traffic comes from outside the U.SGoogle Public

o DNS’s goal is simple: making the web—really, the whole Internet!—faster for users.

Powerful code inspector. 

If you like the Firebug plugin for Firefox, you will definitely approve of this feature which does just about everything that Firebug can, and more! My favorite use for this is to determine the download time (in milliseconds) for each item on a page. It can also be used to easily switch between stylesheets, html code, javascript, and images.

Enhanced browsing features

The most user-friendly feature, the address bar is multipurpose. Using it, you can load a web page, or perform a query with your search engine of choice. It also suggests potential sites that you might like to visit based on the characters that you enter.

Facts About Google

Simply type in the weather operator, followed by the name of a location. You can also type in a zip code for more specific results

Google knows weather!

Google Knows What Time It Is!

If you need to know the time in another time zone, all you do is type ‘time’ in Google’s search bar, followed by the location. If a location name is ambiguous, multiple results will be shown.

Google’s Got A Calculator.

Google is great for relatively simple arithmetic calculations, including square roots, logarithms, order of operations, and trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine.Google calculator also defines various constants such as e and c(speed of light).

The calculator can also perform just about any unit conversion that I can think of, from temperature to weight to pressure to length. And both American and metric units are supported

 Google has a built-in currency converter

Typing in other currencies such as the Euro, or the Yen.

You can look up phone numbers by simply typing them into the search field. All numbers that are in the phonebook will be retrieved.
