Google Acquired a New Algorithm
Google had recently acquired a new search algorithm called Orion and which was developed by an Israeli doctorat student at the University of New South Wales in Australia.
The algorithm which was negotiated with Yahoo and MSN as well is an advanced text search algorithm and while Alon refused to comment, Google had addmitted that “Ori Alon works at Google’s Mountain View, California offices.”
Orion, which Alon developed with faculty, relates only to the most relevant textual results. The software, which currently operates only in English, offers a list of topics directly related to the original source.
“For example, if you search information on the War of Independence, you’ll receive a list of related words, like Etzel, Palmach, Ben-Gurion,” Alon explained. The text will only appear on the results page if enough words relevant to the search and the link between them is reasonable. Orion also rates the texts by quality of the site in which they appear.
