In order for a search engine in high demand to serve its users efficiently it should keep things in memory instead of looking it up on a disk. Unfortunately computer information gets inefficiently stored in boxes with fixed dimension:

The solution is to squeeze information together so the least amount of space contains the maximum amount of information.

That's the great thing: we know how engines are made. As with cars, a writer might not have the latest secret specs about a particular secret model -- but we know darn well there is an engine in there, how it's made and how it works.

Real happy to see you like it too, Barry. Thanks!
