Google Searches Down Under For New Search

by Piers Fawkes

Google have hired an Australian whizz kid who has invented Orion - a next generation search engine, the Age reports:

At the heart of the process - as with all search engine technology - is a mathematical formula that dictates the nature of the internet search.

Orion finds pages with content strongly related to the key word entered in the search. It then returns a section of those pages, and lists other topics related to the key word so users can pick the most relevant.

The results of the search are displayed immediately in the form of expanded text extracts, giving the searcher the relevant information without having to go to the website.
