To be precise, it's call localisation. Google is one of the few search engine company since 2004 to provide localisation of search queries. <BR/><BR/>How does the system (spidering) works?<BR/><BR/>The backend algorithim will send a target to the local search farms first before point to back to Google HQ. That why if you notice, most of you initial search search are local contents first or nearest to you. Alternative, high number of click, depanding which calculation is at a heavy weightage. Learnt this back in undergraduate life on Google's business model and also in Library School, how search engine are developed. <BR/><BR/>Wonder, if one day our academic libraries able to come out such system like localisation of initial search with the main campus first, retrieving the scholarly materials. Need precise constraint calculation, too bad, not many technical librarians like to do this ... In my sector, it has been me alone playing with this type ... Till some of the librarians started to address me ...<BR/><BR/>Well, Venice is a great place ... Is the water still raising and going to over run the street? Can't wait for the exam to over ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
