[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The technology behind Google's great results[/FONT] [SIZE=-1]As a Google user, you're familiar with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right results for every query as quickly as it does? The 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.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1], Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based algorithms. And while Google has dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of our service on a daily basis, PigeonRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools.[/SIZE] [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Why Google's patented PigeonRank? works so well[/FONT]
[SIZE=-1]PigeonRank's success relies primarily on the superior trainability of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia) and its unique capacity to recognize objects regardless of spatial orientation. The common gray pigeon can easily distinguish among items displaying only the minutest differences, an ability that enables it to select relevant web sites from among thousands of similar pages.
