For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I always understood that the innards of Google are a closely guarded secret because it's so quick and efficient.
I think their systems do a lot of constant searching all across the Internet behind the scenes. All the results are then complied into some sort of index which is what we use when we Google.

I'm no expert by a long shot - but I'd say that google probaby have some pretty good computers. Also they probaby don;t use windows o/s (sorry Bill ;D) probably some variety of unix.
if you consider that the AVERAGE high end server will have 8+processors around i think some can have around 64GB of RAM you can imagine the amount of information it can process quicker than you can think it! most of the info is probably held in the RAM so the access time will be 1000's of times faster than your average hard drive.
As i said i'm no expert - but thats my best guess. anyone who does know for sure - i'd be interested to know -.-
