Since mySQL is one the fastest RDBMS in the world for
pure SELECTs, this seems like the proper forum to pose
the following:
According to a recent story:
http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-5561996.html?tag=tp_pr
35 Million keyword searches a day are done at the
Goolge site.
My calculator tells me this is roughly 405 keyword
searches per SECOND.
Not even considering any other database queries needed
to generate targeted ad placement on each page, etc
one is left with a haunting question:
How is it all done so quickly?
Any thoughts or theories appreciated.
