Google buys Orion an advanced text search algorithm invented by Ori Alon

Ori Alon an Israeli student developed this algorithm whilst at our own Uni of NSW in Australia. The 3 majors chased this technology with Google winning in the end. Ori went to Monash then did his PhD at University of NSW. His search engine is designed to complement the results returned by search engines i believe. I first heard of this in Septmeber last year. Ori now works for Google in California.
