Whiteboard Friday - How Search Engines Work

This week, Rand takes it back to basics and discusses how search engines deal with the COLOSSAL amounts of data they have to sift through for every single search query. Sometimes it's actually quite helpful to step back and remember how everything works.

And just because I like to keep it real (it's how I roll), an old friend makes a cameo in this video. He's poppin', lockin' and bustin' the freshest moves this side of the Mississippi. Caaaan youuuuuu dig it?!!

Happy Friday, Gang.
