    Question what is googles' and yahoos' search based on?

    hello!
    how is everybody feeling??

    does anyone knows how the google search and yahoo search work?
    I heard once that the google search sorts pages by the number of times
    that they have been accessed or something like that...
    can someone please explain about the search mechanisms of these two?

    thanks

    Dekel C.

    Google's search engine is based on a complex alogorithum. It deals with the number of links pointing out of the page and their relevancy to your type of site. Also, the number of links from other sites and their relevancy to yours. Then you have the verbiage in your page and number of search requests by google visitors. It does not go by metatags from the last reading I did. I have a document on the details and if I find it I wil post it for you.
