Google wins rights to Aussie algorithm - Breaking - Technology - smh.com.au "The algorithm, or search engine tool, is called Orion and was developed by UNSW PhD student Ori Allon at the university's School of Computer Science.
Orion works as an add-on to existing search engines to improve the relevance of searches and won praise from Microsoft founder Bill Gates last year.
The algorithm is a problem-solving computational procedure and is the building block for all search engines such as those operated by Google and Yahoo!
Orion finds pages where the content is about a topic strongly related to the key word. It then returns a section of the page, and lists other topics related to the key word so the user can pick the most relevant.
The results of the query are displayed immediately in the form of expanded text extracts, giving the searcher the relevant information without having to go to the website - although there is still that option."
SMH previously interviewed Allon "The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: MashUp / Google buys Aussie invention Archives: "Contrast the difference between September when the University of NSW unveiled the project to today, when all they can say is that Ori is now working with Google."
