Web indexing provides new content more quickly – Google Caffeine launch

Wednesday Caffeine, Google’s new web indexing system, went live. Announcing the global launch of Caffeine, Google discussed that its evolving search engine technology makes even more freshly minted content available and delivers that new material faster than before. Not numerous individuals may have to change the way that they use Google. But links to a broader range of relevant content are now presented much faster after the content has actually been published. The Caffeine overhaul of the web indexing technology also will be able to provide Google more flexibility to keep pace with a web that is evolving at an accelerating rate.

Speed isn’t everything - Google Caffeine launch

Caffeine offers 50 percent of freshwater search results. It may be hard to convert into the advantage for average Google Users. PCWorld tested a comparison of web indexing systems when Caffeine was in development and found that results took .15 seconds on the regular Google search and .09 seconds on Caffeine. The test can’t be repeated since Caffeine is the regular Google search now. And .06 seconds probably won't make much of a difference for searchers, regardless how tight the deadline. However, what shows up .06 seconds faster will make a difference for any kind of content publishing.

Some real time content publishing

Google Caffeine’s average user will see the instant 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 is crawled.” According to Search Engine Land, the old Google would crawl a set of pages, process those pages and add them to the index. The whole batch had to proceed at one time rather than one page at a time. Now Google crawls and processes pages individually and instantly.

Caffeine - huge storage capacity

For Caffeine to have the ability to eliminate the delay between when it finds a page and makes it accessible requires an astronomical amount of storage. Carrie Grimes said Caffeine indexed web pages on an tremendous scale. Caffeine processes hundreds of thousands of pages in parallel -- each second. Paper pages processed at that rate would stack three 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 info; if these were stacked end-to-end they would go for a lot more than 40 miles. According to PC World, the Apple bill would be $155,625,000.

Trying to keep up with Caffeine

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