The next version of Google is almost ready. The months’ long secret project code named Caffeine is available for testing. It runs on next generation infrastructure and in Google’s own words
It’s the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions.
The new version as of now runs under the current version and you will not notice any major differences. But if you look from a research or analysis angle certainly you will find great differences. (Forget the UI). Try the new Google though: http://www2.sandbox.google.com
Here are the results:
- For almost all searches the new engine is at least 40% faster
- With fastness comes more results, approximately more than 10% more coverage.(Indexing)
- Page Rank for many searches show obvious changes. Relevant searches have moved on top pushing irrelevant ones down south. Check your site for the page rank and be ready for the new Google Search.
Image search is still not integrated in the new Infrastructure.- New version (in the sandbox mode) is Ad Free. (Obviously for the test period
)
If you find any interesting differences, just let me know. You can also give the feedback to Google through Dissatisfied? Help us improve link at the bottom of the search. Happy searching !
