Google Caffeine - A “secret project” of “next-generation architecture for Google’s web search“ which promises to “push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions.” In this project Google is simply providing a developer preview and are asking webmasters and power searchers to try it out and give them feedback. You would see that Caffeine index seems to be an entirely new search infrastructure that will repace what exists now. We can guess that this new infrastructure may include ways of crawling the web more comprehensively, determining reputation and authority, and returning more relevant results more quickly.
Recently Microsoft relaunched its search engine, Bing, which is related to user-interface, where as Google’s new search is only infrastructure related and includes no UI changes. On first glance, however, the underlying infrastructure changes do seem to have impacted user interface as it relates to universal search (likely because universal results are influenced by ranking and relevance signals).
Its for sure, Google Caffeine will cause quite a kerfluffle in the web developer and search engine optimization world and many will dive in to try and figure out the changes. We’ll likely see many a speculative blog post about how best to optimize for the new infrastructure, but my guess is that it likely does what Google search does, but better. And the foundational elements of having a crawlable infrastructure and compelling content remain.
