I wonder if part of Google's speed increases involve dropping some of the more complex keywords while creating the index so that the search space is smaller.

- jacquesm 16y agoNot that I can detect. For instance: หาเมนบอร์ดช๊อคเกต775 returns 42k results, and is not exactly a common combination of words on google.com. Extra points if you know what it stands for :)
- sans-serif 16y agoHere to claim my extra points. Btw, tried searching for Gmail messages in Thai before? It doesn't work.
- jacquesm 16y agoSuch a claim would need to be accompanied by proof ;)
- btilly 16y agoGoogle Translate claims, "Find Motherboard Shock gate 775." I don't know what that is supposed to be a reference to.
- jacquesm 16y agoClose enough 'shock gate' is funny, phonetically very close to 'socket' right?
- saulhoward 16y ago> หาเมนบอร์ดช๊อคเกต775 'Haa men bord chok ket 775' = 'Find motherboard socket 775.' I would have thought that 'socket' would be a direct English transliteration, and use ซ (s) not ช (ch) though. Are you in Thailand, Jacques? Also, what makes you think this is such an uncommon phrase? It may not rival English, but there are plenty of Thai speakers out there, in many countries.
- jacquesm 16y ago> Are you in Thailand, Jacques? I wish. On google.com it would be an uncommon phrase. On the Thai version of google not so much I guess.
- didip 16y agoInteresting, 1 thing to add on that hypothesis, right around April 2010, Google dropped a lot of pages from its index. That really messed up SEO play companies. As a proof, search on any seo play company on Alexa around April 2010
