A search algorithm is a massive collection of other algorithms, each with its own purpose and task. Here's how it all works.

Google Head of Search Spam Matt Cutts posted a video today answering how Google goes about evaluating which new search algorithms they use and which they throw away or adapt. The question was ...

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

The team proposed Graph-Decomposed k -NN Searching Algorithm to improve the time-efficiency of nearest nodes searching. In the research, A graph-decomposed tree is constructed from road network.

Google has a new search algorithm, the system it uses to sort through all the information it has when you search and come back with answers. It’s called “Hummingbird” and below, what we know ...

Database searching is an essential element of large-scale proteomics. Because these methods are widely used, it is important to understand the rationale of the algorithms. Most algorithms are ...

This is a very powerful asymmetry: Anyone can notice a change in search results, but it’s extremely difficult to prove what caused it. That gives algorithm designers immense deniability.

Researchers are enlisting the help of the public to investigate one of the great mysteries — how does the Google algorithm work?
