Search engineer stories
May 27, 2009
I came to Google because I wanted to work on hard problems and have a big impact on the world. Four years later, I'm still constantly awed by how challenging search is. We work on improving the entire search process, including formulating queries, evaluating results, reading and understanding information, and digging deeper with this new information. Every day we work on ways, both big and small, for search to be better, faster, and more effortless.
My fellow engineers and I wanted to give a peek into some of the challenges we face and how we're trying to make search even better. We created a
series of short videos
so you could hear straight from the engineers. Here's mine, where I talk about a change to spell suggestions.
Some of the videos may talk about things you are already familiar with and some may be new. Either way, we hope that you enjoy hearing these stories, and do stay tuned for more!
