Has anyone noticed that Google currently indexes 4 billion odd web pages? Very few of us had time to trod through Google's white paper, but those who did, noticed that 4 billion is Google's upper limit on ability to address or identify and rank web pages. Basically, Google is full.

I noticed problem when my site: www.rankyouragent.com wasn't getting visited very often and wasn't being indexed properly. If you have a new site, Google appears to be very slow in adding it and noticing new sites that link to you. Don't take my word for it, feel free to Google search: "google broken" (feel free to note irony).

Technical problems aside, there is a broader algorithmic problem inherent to page link algorithm. The basic tenet is that a link from one site to another is a vote for that site. Regrettably that algorithm is only valid in an internet where that algorithm isn't public knowledge. Of course, everyone and their grandmothers know how Google Page Rank works.

ObjectSearch claims that their open source approach provides an "alternative to commercial web search engines. Only open source search results can be fully trusted to be without bias." This premise goes against major search engines in methods in which they rank search results.

"All existing major search engines have proprietary ranking formulas, and will not explain why a given page ranks as it does. Additionally, some search engines determine which sites to index based on payments, rather than on merits of sites themselves.

Objects Search, on other hand, has nothing to hide and no motive to bias its results or its crawler in any way other than to try to give each user best results possible."
