[Yr7-10it] Google 'Caffeine'

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

Hi all,


 http://www2.sandbox.google.com/

Google has unveiled a next-generation search infrastructure they've
codenamed "Caffeine" .. and, it's available for individuals to test.

According to http://www.webpronews.com ..

"Fair warning: don't expect Caffeine to introduce natural language 
recognition, search results from Twitter, or anything else too fancy.  

Matt Cutts cautioned, "The Caffeine update isn't about making some UI 
changes here or there. Currently, even power users won't notice much of a 
difference at all.  This update is primarily under the hood: we're 
rewriting the foundation of some of our infrastructure."

Still, he continued, "Some of the search results do change, so we wanted 
to open up a preview so that power searchers and web developers could 
give us feedback."

Head over to http://www2.sandbox.google.com if you intend to take Cutts 
and Google up on their invitation.  

Keep an eye on characteristics including accuracy, comprehensiveness, 
and - perhaps especially - indexing speed.  Then, if you've got anything 
constructive to say, use the "Dissatisfied?  Help us improve" link at the 
bottom of the page and include the term "Caffeine" in your response."
