There are also search methods designed for [[Quantum computing|quantum computer]]s, like [[Grover's algorithm]], that are theoretically faster than linear or brute-force search even without the help of data structures or heuristics. While the ideas and applications behind quantum computers are still entirely theoretical, studies have been conducted with algorithms like Grover's that accurately replicate the hypothetical physical versions of quantum computing systems.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=López|first1=G V|last2=Gorin|first2=T|last3=Lara|first3=L|date=26 February 2008|title=Simulation of Grover's quantum search algorithm in an Ising-nuclear-spin-chain quantum computer with first- and second-nearest-neighbour couplings|journal=Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics|volume=41|issue=5|page=055504|doi=10.1088/0953-4075/41/5/055504|arxiv=0710.3196|bibcode=2008JPhB...41e5504L|s2cid=18796310}}</ref>

Search algorithms used in a search engine such as Google, order the relevant search results based on a myriad of important factors.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Baye|first1=Michael|last2=De los Santos|first2=Barbur|last3=Wildenbeest|first3=Matthijs|date=2016|title=Search Engine Optimization: What Drives Organic Traffic to Retail Sites?|journal=Journal of Economics & Management Strategy|volume=25|pages=6–31|doi=10.1111/jems.12141|s2cid=156960693}}</ref> [[Search engine optimization]] (SEO) is the process in which any given search result will work in conjunction with the search algorithm to organically gain more traction, attention, and clicks, to their site. This can go as far as attempting to adjust the search engines algorithm to favor a specific search result more heavily, but the strategy revolving around SEO has become incredibly important and relevant in the business world.<ref name=":0" />
