Caffeine - Google's new search index:

Official Google Blog: Our new search index: Caffeine:

"Today, we're announcing the completion of a new web indexing system called Caffeine. Caffeine provides 50 percent fresher results for web searches than our last index, and it's the largest collection of web content we've offered.With Caffeine, we analyze the web in small portions and update our search index on a continuous basis, globally. Caffeine lets us index web pages on an enormous scale. In fact, every second Caffeine processes hundreds of thousands of pages in parallel. If this were a pile of paper it would grow three miles taller every second."
