Google Caffeine launch - web indexing delivers new content faster

Wednesday Google’s new web indexing system known as Caffeine went live. Announcing the global launch of Caffeine, Google described that its evolving search engine technology makes even a lot more freshly minted web content available and delivers that new content faster than before. Not numerous individuals may have to change the way that they use Google. But links to a wider range of relevant content are now presented much quicker following the content has actually been published. The Caffeine renovate of the web indexing technology also provides Google much more flexibility to keep pace with a web that is evolving at an ever increasing rate.

Google Caffeine launch - speed isn't every little thing

Google said the Caffeine launch delivers 50 percent fresher search results. It may be hard to convert into a benefit for average Google Users. PCWorld tested a side-by-side comparison of web indexing systems when Caffeine was in development and found that final results took .15 seconds on the regular Google search and .09 seconds on Caffeine Google search. Given that Caffeine is the regular Google search now, the test can’t be repeated. And .06 seconds probably won't make much of a difference for searchers, no matter how tight the deadline. However, what shows up .06 seconds faster will make a difference for any kind of content publishing.

Content publishing real time

Google Caffeine’s average user will see the immediate benefit of a lot more fresh content. Matt Cutts of Google told Search Engine Land that that "Caffeine benefits both searchers and content owners because it means that all content (and not just content deemed “real time”) can be searchable within seconds after it's crawled.” It was reported by Search Engine Land the old Google would crawl a set of pages, process those pages and add them to the index. Instead of one page at a time proceeding, the whole batch had to go at the very same time. Now pages are processed instantly and individually.

Astronomical storage capacity - Caffeine

For Caffeine to have the ability to eliminate the delay between when it finds a page and makes it available requires an astronomical amount of storage. Carrie Grimes said Caffeine indexed web pages on an tremendous scale. Caffeine processes thousands and thousands of pages in parallel -- every second. Paper pages processed at that rate would stack 3 miles high -- each and every second. Caffeine takes up nearly 100 million gigabytes of storage in a single database and adds new info at a rate of hundreds of thousands of gigabytes per day. You would need 625,000 of the largest iPods to store that much details; if these were stacked end-to-end they would go for more than 40 miles. According to PC World, the Apple bill would be $155,625,000.

Keeping up with Caffeine

The Google Caffeine launch doesn't change web searching content publishing. Resource Shelf has pointed out an important detail. Info changes daily. Pages are being refreshed more often and also the cache is updated more often also. If a searcher needs content on a page the way it looked at noon on Wednesday, it’s a good idea to make a duplicate with something like Zotero, a Firefox extension because later that night the content on the page might change when the cache is updated.
