I wanted to write a quick post about Google’s new “Caffeine” search infrastructure. A preview is open for Web developers so Google can collect feedback. Apparently the search engine will be “faster, more accurate and more comprehensive” than the current Google search setup. I would guess the timing of the announcement is in answer to Microsoft’s Bing. There are links to articles about the preview here and here. Unfortunately, a recent article says the preview is down and when I tried it, sure enough I was redirected to an error page that said they were performing “system maintenance.” Hmmm… Here’s a link to the Caffeine sandbox in case you want to try it — hopefully the “maintenance” will be finished soon.
