Ever wonder how Google Search works? Google has put out a video answering just that, cramming what would likely be a ten-hour video into a more broad 8-minute “table of contents.” Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s web spam team, outlines the inner machinations of the search giant, including a comparison of their old crawling method (a slow, inefficient way to discover new content) and their new(er) method that breaks the web into chunks, allowing incremental (and therefore quicker) discovery and page ranking.
