- londons_explore 9y agoThis needs more attention. The rarest pages are probably not very redundantly stored. Sometimes the datacenter your search query lands in might not have a copy of the necessary page. Now they have to decide if they delay the entire search query to remotely query another datacenter, or not. I would guess returning the results early is nearly always more important than returning a result which is so rare it has never been clicked in the past decade.
