Suddenly the web has become livelier and rapid. Most probably twitter has launched this rapidness. And this has reached the search giant, Google.
In an event held in California’s Computer History Museum, Google has said that it now indexes contents each second from over billions of websites on the internet. Indexing contents on a real-time basis will let people see real-time information on the search results. From now on, Google will index contents as soon as they are published online.
Google will also include search results from twitter statuses, as well as statuses from Facebook and MySpace profiles.
Google said that the feature is live now, but it may take several days to be available everywhere in the world. However, content indexing from Facebook & MySpace will not begin until the upcoming year.
65% of total internet surfers prefer Google for searching contents on the web.
Amit Singhal, on behalf of Google, said:
“Information is being created at a pace I have never seen before and in this environment, seconds matter.”
“There is so much information being generated out there that getting you relevant information is the key to the success of a product like this. It’s all about relevance, relevance, relevance.”
Google is the first among all the existing search engines that indexes information on a real-time basis. There will be no new result page for showing up real-time results. This feature will work on Google’s current result page, and will also work on smart phones such as iPhone and Android-based handsets.
Reaction to this new feature has been positive from across the blogosphere and the technology world. Most people believe that this is what they were in need of. Experts say that the new feature will make it almost impossible for Microsoft’s search engine Bing, which has recently signed a deal with Yahoo and paid to News Corporation to block Google search from its contents, to beat Google.
