Caffeine Update : New Web Indexing Method

Google announced completion of Caffeine Update - The New Web Indexing System. Google claims that with the help of this update it will now provide 50% fresher results for web searches than the previous index and is the largest collection of web content.

whatever is published on WEB whether it might be the Video, Story, News Story, Blog, Forum Post and such others will soon be found that are relevant to the user query soon after its published as said by one of the Google's Engineer Carrie Grimes.

"Content on the web is blossoming. It's growing not just in size and numbers but with the advent of video, images, news and real-time updates, the average webpage is richer and more complex. In addition, people's expectations for search are higher than they used to be," adds Grimes. "Searchers want to find the latest relevant content and publishers expect to be found the instant they publish."

With Caffeine the web is analyzed in small portions and updates its search index on a continuous basis (all around the world). New pages and updates to existing pages are added straight to the index, meaning freshness will be increased.

Caffeine takes upto 100 million GB of storage in a single database, and adds even more and more GB of information every day.
