December 8th, 2009 | Posted in Web | No Comments »

Google continues to expand its range of search, with search in real time. You can get a glimpse of the thing by going to Google.com, and glancing after obviously searched on the “Latest results”. Wait a little and see the results in question are updated by themselves without having nothing to do.

Announced in August, Google Caffeine is supposed to boost the search engine performance both in terms of indexing and relevance. The URL test has closed its doors, a first data center will house the new algorithm before it can spread across data centers …

The sandbox which allowed the test results of the new algorithm has been closed since a few days and now displays approximately the following message: “Based on the success we’ve seen, we believe Caffeine is ready for a larger audience.
