00:00Right now, if you Google the word idiot under images, a picture of Donald Trump comes up.
00:24I just did that.
00:26How would that happen?
00:27We take the keyword and match it against webpages and rank them based on over 200 signals.
00:35Things like relevance, freshness, popularity, how other people are using it.
00:42And based on that, at any given time, we try to rank and find the best results for that
00:47query.
00:48And then we evaluate them with external raters to make sure that, and they evaluate it to
00:54objective guidelines.
00:56And that's how we make sure the process is working.
00:58So it's not some little man sitting behind the curtain figuring out what we're going
01:03to show the user.
01:05It's basically a compilation of what users are generating.
01:09This is working at scale.
01:11And we don't manually intervene on any particular search result.
