Hello Stevo,

Google has been working on a new project which you can call the next generation of Google Search (Code named: Caffeine). This isn't just some minor upgrade, but an entire new infrastructure for the world's largest search engine, you can safely call it a new version of Google.

The project's still under construction, but Google is now confident enough in the new version of its search engine that it has released the development version for public usage. You can try that here: http://www2.sandbox.google.com/ While you won't see too many differences immediately, but yet its a completely upgraded Google search.

Google specifically states that its goal for the new version of Google Search is to improve its indexing speed, accuracy, size, and comprehensiveness. Here’s what they have to say:

"For the last several months, a large team of Googlers has been working on a secret project: a next-generation architecture for Google’s web search. It's the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions. The new infrastructure sits “under the hood” of Google’s search engine, which means that most users won’t notice a difference in search results. But web developers and power searchers might notice a few differences, so we’re opening up a web developer preview to collect feedback."

Thanks!
