Search Quality Meeting: Spelling for Long Queries (Annotated)

As part of our continued effort to be more transparent about how search works, we’re publishing video footage from our internal weekly search meeting: “Quality Launch Review.” We hold the meeting almost every Thursday to discuss possible algorithmic improvements and make decisions about what to launch. This video is from the meeting that happened on December 1st, 2011, and includes the entire uncut discussion of a real algorithmic improvement to our spell correction system. The language can be technical, so we’ve included annotations to provide some context for the discussion (and have a little fun!).

Teachers Share the Impact of the Doodle 4 Google Tech Grant

Visit http://www.doodle4google.com for more info. Matteo Lopez won the 2011 Doodle 4 Google contest and his school won a technology grant. Is the 2012 winner at your school?

Welcome to Doodle 4 Google, a contest where we invite students in the United States to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign Google’s homepage logo for millions to see. This year we ask students to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, “If I could travel in time, I’d visit…” One lucky student artist will see their artwork appear on the Google homepage and take home some cool prizes–and as a special bonus, the winning artwork will appear on a limited edition of Crayola’s iconic 64 box! Just remember, a parents or guardian signature is required for each entry.
