Google Promises Faster Indexing, Fresher Results
By Chris Weiss
Google announced the launch of a new search index called Caffeine yesterday. Google promises that the new index will offer fresher results, indexing new content more quickly. In fact, it states that Caffeine offers 50 percent fresher results than its last index.
Google explains: “With Caffeine, we analyze the web in small portions and update our search index on a continuous basis, globally. As we find new pages, or new information on existing pages, we can add these straight to the index. That means you can find fresher information than ever before—no matter when or where it was published.”
The new index is built into a 100 million GB database that adds hundreds of thousands of gigabytes of data every day. It promises to provide a future with more recent, relevant search results. [via Google Blog]
