I was looking into how google was implemented initially with the pagerank algorithm and I think I am getting closer. Do they still use the same algorithm? I ahve no concept of how things behave when they scale or how to scale for that matter.

I think they just use BrainRank for search now. It still incorporates the basic premise of pagerank, but the rules are not hand written anymore, it's all done with Tensorflow.

Well now they're baking in things like piracy and fake news into the mix and I've noticed a loss in quality for regular search results over the years.
