If the "more data beats better algorithms" principal is to be believed, a big index is a requirement to have a shot at Google.

If the "more data beats better algorithms" principal is to be believed, a big index is a requirement to have a shot at Google.
- jbyers 18y agoI'm happy for their index to be enormous, but to proclaim it's "bigger than Google's" at launch entirely misses the point of search: finding things. First find things. Then tell me your haystack is way bigger than the next guy's.
- aneesh 18y agoI think more data about each page would be more helpful than simply more pages. That's what Google themselves did. Instead of searching merely the text of pages, they also considered more data - namely, which pages link to a given page.
- iamelgringo 18y agoIt's not the size of the index, it's how you use it.

- Hexstream 18y agoGoddamnit. People say "principal" instead of "principle" so ridiculously often that I came to think it was the right spelling in english. Thank you.
- stcredzero 18y agoThe principal of your school is your princely pal. Hopefully he has principles.
