Google Rolls out its New Web Indexing System: Caffeine

Google began its work on a new search index last year that was expected to launch somewhat in the beginning of this year. While that did not happen, the search giant has finally rolled out its latest and much anticipated Caffeine web indexing system.
Google boasts about its search indexing technology as capable of providing 50 percent fresher results for web searches than the last index, and that it is the largest collection of web content ever offered by the company.
“Whether it’s a news story, a blog or a forum post, you can now find links to relevant content much sooner after it is published than was possible ever before,” read the Google statement on the official blog.
Google outlines the motives for its next iteration to search products as efforts to cope up with the growing size of the content on the web and fully satisfy the customer demands of faster ways to find the latest relevant content.
Wish to know how it works? Here’s how Google explains its efficient Caffeine:

“Our old index had several layers, some of which were refreshed at a faster rate than others; the main layer would update every couple of weeks. To refresh a layer of the old index, we would analyze the entire web, which meant there was a significant delay between when we found a page and made it available to you.
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.”
You may not experience the changes in your search results immediately but within some period of time. Also Google promises to bring more improvements in months to come when these modifications may become more prominent. Google is the most loved search engine across the globe and if continues to offer more enhanced search technology, it will easily sustain the lead against its rivals.
