I read somewhere that it used a hidden markov model. It checks each page and gives each link a click probability. It also gives a probability that the user will enter a new address instead of clicking a link.
We then, by using a hidden markov model, calculate the probability that the user will be at a particular page after an infinite time using random browsing according to the probabilies found. This probability is then used as a basis for ranking results.
