I am pretty sure that google does not use any metatags but searches ALL the document for the text you want as it finds, and quotes it, from the page. It also has all the web pages cached which would be a huge job. I am also pretty sure it is not a meta engine but a plain text-based engine.
the major difference I am aware of between windows search and gfoogle search is that windows searches for *cat* whereas google searches for <space>cat<space>.
A sudden insight that just came to me is that they might have all the web pages ranked in poularity and display the time took to search the first 10 rather than all of them (though how would it be able to display the "there are approx 8 billion webpages with the word cat" thing
I know that it is really heavily optimised but I think it is almost reaching a physical limit (SCSI HD random access times are around 0.009 s so if it is looking at 10 results, that is 0.09 tho parrelism would help alot).
also, what kind of internet backbone would they have there? any chance of them setting up a ftyp site?
