Usually, we see waves of volatility throughout the 2-3 weeks of a rollout. Broadly, are different parts of core updated at different times? Or is it all reset at the beginning then iterated depending on the results?<\/p><\/blockquote> <p>John replied:<\/p> <blockquote><p>We generally don&#8217;t announce &#8220;stages&#8221; of core updates.. Since these are significant, broad changes to our search algorithms and systems, sometimes they have to work step-by-step, rather than all at one time.
