I would'nt be surprised if they actually used python to do some prototyping of their algorithms but I cannot imagine the search engine actually being written in python. Search engines consist of many sub-systems like spidering, tokenizing, indexing, compression, ranking etc ... I think the main portion where google or as a matter of fact many search companies would use python is probably for spidering and for all the glue that supports the system. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
