It may be that life is just an example of Grover’s quantum search at work, and that this algorithm is itself a fundamental property of nature. That’s a Big Idea if ever there was one.

This is a very powerful asymmetry: Anyone can notice a change in search results, but it’s extremely difficult to prove what caused it. That gives algorithm designers immense deniability.

Google stands firm in its position that the changes will be a benefit to the web, and changes to the Search algorithm are just the start.

Google rarely discusses specific algorithms. In my opinion, it’s possible that something like this could be one part of a multi-part update of Google’s search ranking algorithm.

Google Search's algorithm has allegedly leaked, giving us insight into how it works, but also contradicting Google's own words. Read on!

Google is rolling out its "single biggest positive" algorithm change, one that could affect 10 percent of all search results.

As industry experts continue to pore through this massive document, we may soon find out some more interesting details hidden in Google's search algorithm. A Google representative declined ...

To address this problem, we introduce Q* search, a search algorithm that uses deep Q-networks to guide search in order to take advantage of the fact that the sum of the transition costs and heuristic ...
