It's not clear to me whether the leak is actually for Google Search or one of the products around search that isn't "Search", like Document Warehouse [1]. Is there anything definitive one way or the other in all this? Nobody seems to even questioning this<p>[1] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/document-warehouse/docs/overview" rel="nofollow">https://cloud.google.com/document-warehouse/docs/overview</a>
The post title is misleading. The algorithm did not leak, only the documentation listing all the signals that can <i>possibly</i> be used as inputs for that algorithm. It doesn't reveal which ones are actually used and how.
This looks like it's written in Elixir (the docs are using ExDocs, Elixir's documentation toolset).<p>This can't possibly be the actual search index rules (which is probably code that's decades old, my guess is either in Python or Java?) – unless they rewrote all of it in the past few years?<p>Can anyone else confirm this?
