A search algorithm is a massive collection of other algorithms, each with its own purpose and task. Here's how it all works.

Binary Search is an algorithm that can find the index of an element in a sorted array data structure. You've likely used Binary Search it in everyday life without even realizing it.

This is a very powerful asymmetry: Anyone can notice a change in search results, but it’s extremely difficult to prove what caused it. That gives algorithm designers immense deniability.

In 2023, we had nine official and confirmed Google algorithm updates - which was one less than the previous two years.
