Google's methods are no secret ...

If you've got enough storage space (i.e. Terabytes at the Mountain View facility) and a shared file structure, you can do anything.

Like make hashtables for EVERYTHING, ensuring a search in constant time of any arbitrary graph.

There really is no competition for constant time ...
