[NEDBIB-L] Google Caffeine

...Google has unveiled a new test version of their search engine, which
is being called "Caffeine". This is being touted as the "next generation
of search".

Google's Matt Cutts said, on the Google Webmaster Central blog that
they're very interested in feedback:

"Right now, we only want feedback on the differences between
Google's current search results and our new system. We're also
interested in higher-level feedback ("These types of sites seem to rank
better or worse in the new system") in addition to "This specific site
should or shouldn't rank for this query." Engineers will be reading the
feedback, but we won't have the cycles to send replies."

By letting the public test the new version of Google search (which is
noticeably without the Google AdWords ads), Google is able to use the
public as their reviewers: and typically Google's best critics will
reveal issues that need to be addressed. If you are testing out the new
version of Google, and you find a search result that is not to your
liking, there is a "Dissatisfied? Help us improve" link at the bottom of
the search results page.

What is different between the old version of Google (what we currently
see at www.google.com) and this new "Google Caffeine" version of Google?
Some are saying that this new version is much faster than the older
version of Google. Mashable's conclusion is that "This search is not
only faster, but in some instances in our few tests, seems more capable
of producing real-time results."

One of the claims of Google Caffeine is that it does a better job at
including recent search results. Let's take a look at a recent search
phrase, one that Google most likely would not have indexed a few days
ago, and look compare the results. One of the "trending topics" on
Twitter as I write this is "RIP Eunice Kennedy". So, let's use this
keyword phrase as a test.

On Google Caffeine there appears to be a search result that was indexed
25 minutes ago. Google does not typically show a "cached" version of
recent search results.
