Google creates website to show ‘How Search Works’

**JimmyBoy** · 02-03-2013, 02:45 PM

Google today launched a new website designed to show Internet users " How Search Works " The website divides the process of web searching into three parts, including crawling and indexing, algorithms, and fighting spam. Users can keep scrolling down the page to see the detailed process with images and outlines. At the very bottom of the page, Google keeps a counter of how many seconds you've been on the page, and how many web searches have been performed in that amount of time.

I have a one terabyte hard drive that is roughly 2.5 inches in diameter, so if I stacked 100,000 of them together it would reach a distance of aprox. 3.95 miles.

Is that better?
