Re: When Searching With Google


google liam

That is surprising; if they use a deterministic and same algorithm
irrespective of the server used by google, then we should always get the
same result unless data set really changes (for example, if ranks change
between the queries etc)..

Am I not right? Or is it really that different servers will give different
results..?? I am slightly sceptical..

best, murali.
