Super stuff, I’ve always wondered how Google search actually worked. Many thanks
Good Stuff. thanks
Matt, I have to say that Google is pretty good at finding stuff if it is out there to be found. For me the cheesy gums search has relevant results in the top ten hits. The user wouldn't have needed to know how Google works, or to use an advanced search to get an answer to his question. Perhaps he clicked on the link to your blog out of curiosity, after checking out the other links first. Google does use proximity searching in its algorithms but in this case, there was nothing to be found searching on the phrase “gums smell cheesy”. But now there is:)
When the National Library was developing Trove, it aimed to create the same ease of searching that Google provides. Behind Trove's simple search box are complex algorithms that duplicate some of the things librarians would do using an advanced search to make a catalogue sing and dance.
So too does Google, with the searchable Internet, in as far as it can, given that a lot of content is still not available online.
Greetings Matt. déjà vu !
Very interesting and it got me thinking…
Today I was looking at some old reports I did from 1999 in which I looked at the future of recruitment, the threats and risks etc., as I hope to find some examples to use to demonstrate and reinforce the case for social network recruiting investment, based on some of the lessons we learned in the past [and we noted others learned] and get some proof in the pudding that change did indeed happen, always happens and always will. We saw many sites & services herralded as revolutionary simply dissapear. But did they dissapear? Some maybe but also some NOT – they were part of the learning process. They failed but evolved into other things and some of them today are iconic [at least for now]. “This is how the world works” [said Einstein].. “I did not fail in my experiments, but I successfully identified 10,000 ways in which not to make a light bulb work”.
The use of mere fax [fax was even arround in 1865 - even before the telephone which is probably why trusty fax was so widely taken up by us recruiters!], the advent of email and later, online tools did themselves require some arm and ear bending to convince. Now back to today. It is déjà vu for me as I muster a case for change and seek to find old lessons and evidence that has me delving back 10+ years. However, the case for social media seems to be met more fiercly and eyes may glaze over as if im selling cryogenic insurance or drumming up volunteers to join an oriental basket weaving class [ok - no offence, cryogenics is good and I have nothing against oriental basket weavers either – im sure they are very cool!]. I think on the outset this is fear of the unknown and ‘unknown’ is difficult to trust as it’s not understood. What has been arround for 10 + years now has become the norm as if nothing existed before and what we have today will some how remain forever. We looked where the candidates went. Hey – arent they moving again!..
Wow I just found out how google work’s and believe it or not it fitted on one page! Cheers Matt
