Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - How does Google determine what's relevant?

Just did a search on "free trailers" and Google said there were 84,000,000 results

On page two it said "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 18 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."

18 results!!

That's some algorithim - 18 results deemed relevant out of 84 million!!
