Query-Dependent Ranking Factors: The Search Engines' Secret Sauce

It's probably safe to say that the vast majority of the factors used by search engines to rank web pages on search results are query-dependent. That is to say, the search query itself affects what factors are involved, the weight of different factors, etc.
For example, when I search for "purple widgets," the weight of any occurrences of those terms in a given document depends on other documents in the index, etc. The importance of word proximity and order will depend on other documents.

PageRank is different, because it is Query-Independent.

The PageRank score for a document exists independently of the search query - it is a property of the document (URL) itself. The algorithm is patented, and public. In theory, if you had a list of every URL in Google's index, you could determine the PageRank score of every document (URL).
However, you would not be able to arrive at the same score that Google uses. Your number will be different, because you don't know which links Google is ignoring due to paid link filtering and other link spam detection processes...

Perfect it is because of the PageRank that Google is rated above all other Major Search Engines
like Yahoo,and Msn.

Leftybogs have also point. Some webmasters loves PR because they use it in selling links.
