New Australian Algorithm for Google

Date: 17/04/06

Google will get a new algorithm for its search from Australia. The latest algorithm which is the work of a graduate student from Australia is supposed to make the search engine much more efficient and effective. The Australian student who is currently pursuing his PhD in Australia has been reportedly hired by Google. The industry is abuzz with the news that a young graduate student from Australia has been employed by Google for his extraordinary work in designing a new algorithm.

The new algorithm, according to sources in the industry would bring a new ‘revolution’ in the way search engine industry. Ori Allon, a graduate from Israel and a PhD student at the University of New South Wales, was working on this algorithm when Google came to know about him. The University of New South Wales, in a press release in September 2005 had given some information about this project. The project was named as Orion Search Engine. The exact details about the project and its features are still very much a secret. Neither Allon nor Google has given out any details about the project.

The project is scheduled to be completed within the next one and a half year. The ownership of the Orion would however be with the University as Allon was working with its PhD program. Analysts believe that the University is likely to receive millions of dollars in royalty from Google for Orion for giving a license to Google.
