(Tedious disclaimer: my opinion, not my employers. Not representing anybody else. I work at Google, not on search quality)

This article makes a number of bold claims about the contents of data and code which its author hasn't seen, and is written by a company that is receiving a large amount of money from Yahoo. I would encourage people not to forget these details.



So just point out where it's wrong, instead of making a fairly disingenuous appeal to non-authority or however you want to call it?


I don't speak for the company, but I don't think we're going to respond to an attack piece by the Mozilla CTO by disclosing how our search algorithm works. ;)

In any event I'm not a person who can decide to release that information. All I can do here is to ask people to think about what evidence has been offered and the motives behind this article.
