If you can understand this, there is a good chance you will want to read the American Mathematical Society’s [2] feature article “ How Google finds your Needle in the Web’s Haystack [3]” The article describes Google’s PageRank algorithm and how it returns pages from the Web’s collection of 25 billion documents. According to David Austin [4] from Grand Valley State University [5], the trick is to ask the Web itself to rank the importance of pages. I wish you luck!
