Interesting paper on Standford University site from Sergey Brin andLawrence Page or Larry Page as he is better know now, entitled: The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine.

Of course it lead to the infamous google.
Of course there are other interesting reads on search engines out there for instance:
