Lexur - Google has been using semantics for a longtime. Remember the ~widget - widget search that used to show broad match terms? If google took several pages content (a cluster) and treated it as one 'document' then ran their semantics process that was extended to look for 'phrases' they could probably do this at run time. They would then divide and rank the clusters according to which pages bonded according to predictive phrase analysis. I'm also suspicious that they choose the final ranking pages according to user navigation in order to lower the chance of offering an out of date page. They would never have to do this with millions of pages, just the top fifty for a search phrase
