The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine
Sergey Brin, Lawrence Page
Overview
The paper describing the prototype of Google. Brin and Page presented a web search engine that ranks pages using the link structure of the web (PageRank), producing far more relevant results than keyword matching alone.
Defined modern web search and launched Google.
Key findings
Methods
A systems-and-algorithms paper describing a complete crawler, indexer, and ranking pipeline, with PageRank computed as the stationary distribution of a random walk over the web's hyperlink graph.
