Man I'm really impressed with the new search engine. It returns results so quickly! Thanks. It took me only 3 weeks to write it. How does it work? It's an extremely complicated algorithm. It took me several days to even wrap my head around it, let alone implement it. It's based on a heuristic set of graphs, mapping what the majority of humans think when they see other words. To put it simply... no matter what you type, I just have it return pornography. Amazing, I didn't even notice! Dog, cat, eagle, business, car, shoe, bears, porn.

Comments (0) - Over the past few weeks I've been working on rewriting the search engine used by my companies website. We deployed it last week with great success. The new system is faster, more accurate, and much more reliable than the old system. I've had many people ask how it works, so this comic is aimed at answering their questions.
