The complex process of the Google search, simplified

It’s something that we totally take for granted thanks to the continuously-advancing wonders of the internet. We don’t go to libraries. We open phone books. We don’t dial information and we don’t own an encyclopedia.

We search. We go to Google (or Bing or Yahoo) and start typing in what it is that we need to know. Before we’re done typing, we’re often presented with results for the terms. It knows! It knows what we’re about to type before we’re done typing it. Search engines have become a little too powerful. Some wonder how they work.

This infographic from Mashable comes to us via Austin Honda and explores “How Google Ranks Its Search Results”. Click to enlarge.
