"Many of us may wonder," yep. Some of us are pretty sure it's because Google is now optimizing searches for profitability rather than relevance. They're very careful to avoid fully explaining how the algorithm arranges search results, but I think the algorithm now has more financial subroutines than software behind it.
You know, that makes me wonder if someone could figure out the old google search algorithm, and use it to make a new, more useful search engine.
IIRC PageRank was patented, so it's public, and at this point the patent is surely expired.
A lot of the cost is data storage. Unfortunately, I doubt any party will replace old Google.
