Paul Haahr’s Blog

Udi Manber wrote a blog post introducting search quality at Google. As Udi says, we are “quite secretive about what we do” and this is a nice, simple summary of the sorts of thing we work on and what we think about. I’m on the ranking team but have spent more and more of my time over recent years thinking about the intersection between ranking and user interface.

I don’t usually talk in public about the technical side of what I do at work, but I co-wrote a post for the company blog a few weeks ago on how we build and use language models which I should have linked to earlier.
