What if search began moving datastreams into a specailized algos? Maybe one size doesn't fit all. Maybe the organism . . err . . the algo . . is evolving . . because it must to survive....

The "algo" is a living breathing entity within the confines of software/programming...

In regards to Google...we are seeing some "hormone" issues here...(some changes and new feelings from the algo...as it grows and learns... ;-)

With the direction of this thread...let me add .. that some of what I am looking at recently hints that Google is looking at the full "stemming" values across not only the local domain ... but the inbound / outbound link market structure for the root domain AND interior pages...

Now tie this in with the recent interface testing Google is doing for localization / google maps / and possible Google phone services... and the fact that Google is running now 700? IP numbers related to their distributed data center network topology....and you have a series move towards localization.... and pushing a new advertising model through Google Maps... ..?

ALL Of this is conjecture on my part...as I am not sitting in Google's main "data war room" looking at large sets of stats and usability data for all that Google has going on these days...
