Google Buys Search Algorithm
Google bought a search algorithm invented by an Israeli student at University of New South Wales in Australia. According to the news, Microsoft and Yahoo were also negotiating. The student is now said to be working at Google.
So, what does make this algorithm valuable? As I understand from short news article, the algorithm relates to the most relevant search results. THis is important. In addition, it is supposed to recommend topics that relate to the search item.
