- Google Uncle Sam Search (Federal Government Resource)
Google offers both a Web Directory and a search engine. Google has revolutionized searching on the Web with its patent-pending PageRankTM technology. PageRank leverages the structural nature of the Web, which is defined by the way in which any Web page can link to any other Web page, instantly, directly, and without an intermediary. PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the Web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query. And though they do run relevant ads above and next to their results, Google does not sell placement within the results themselves (i.e., no one can buy a higher PageRank). Even Yahoo will use the Google technology to power their search engine.
