Google's New Search Engine - Caffeine

[gogoblender 3,069]

It's almost strange how fast it is, in fact. It's been let out of the labs for test drives and is completely usable:

Here's a link to a site which has some nice info and rates google's latest toy:

mehhh.... not impressed

 

the speed of the search string 'sacred 2'....20 searches provided these avg's-

 

new- .12 seconds

old- .08 seconds

 

accuracy...didn't notice a difference on the first page of results..second page differs

***interesting fact*** the sacredwiki appears on the second page of the old google search. it appears as the LAST result on the third page of the new search. the sif also appears sooner on the old vs. new.

 

number of articles-

 

new- Results 1 - 10 of about 17,100,000 for sacred 2. (0.11 seconds)

old- Results 1 - 10 of about 13,100,000 for sacred 2. (0.09 seconds)

 

 

didn't have time to check for relevancy...but on the quick test run, it seems that the old google is still faster and has slightly better results....as well as displaying online merchant links with prices at the bottom[foot] of each page, whereas the new google does not[perhaps not implimented yet?]

ive just compared it to the current google. I tested for speed.

 

I searched britney spears in new google = 0.14 sec

 

with the current google = .08 sec

 

weird

it could be that the new google IS faster, though it has to check for more articles, which is reflected by the speed vs number of articles
