Google has become what Google is today because it provides what "many/most" (of course, not ALL) consider relevant search results. All this achievement in under 2/3 years speaks volumes on the practicality of their algorithm.

That being said, I would like to bring forth some issues/suggestions I have for Google:

1)Large sites (with 10000+ pages) have difficulty getting decent PR for the deep linked internal pages (most of them will have PR1 or PR0) and that rank will be pretty useless!. One suggestion might be the degradation of PR on a site should be uniformized depending on the number of pages a site has ... I cannot think why most of the internal pages on a well regarded PR7 site should end up having PR1 or PR0 ... This to me is a flaw in the pagerank computation algorithm. I suggest Google to have different pagerank degradation algos for internal links vs. external links on a page.
2)Google should clarify/state clearly on how the information collected from Toolbar, Cookies, etc. are being used. If they are mining the information and using that to personalize or better the SERPs, all such uses of the collected information should be stated so explicitly.
3)Caching the sites without a clear opt-in (vs. opt-out currently) should be seriously considered.
