Google Search Changes the Algorithm

Giving you fresher, more recent search results

If I search for [olympics], I probably want information about next summer’s upcoming Olympics, not the 1900 Summer Olympics (the only time my favorite sport, cricket, was played). Google Search uses a freshness algorithm, designed to give you the most up-to-date results, so even when I just type [olympics] without specifying 2012, I still find what I’m looking for.

• Recent events or hot topics.
• Regularly recurring events.
• Frequent updates.

Side note: I wish that people wouldn't refer to technology as being "fresh". Vegetables are "fresh", not computers. :)
