Google wants you to play with its new toy
GOOGLE HAS TRIED to steal thunder from the Microsoft Yahoo search deal by releasing a sandbox preview of its new search engine.
The engine is supposed to be faster, better and bring peace in our time. It is here and frankly we played around with it a little and got identical search results from the normal Google search.
How fast does a search engine have to be? It always seemed to be the same speed as downloading a page and this version does not seem to be noticably quicker.
However that has not stopped some press in this silly late summer season from describing this as Google having "dropped a bomb on would-be search challengers such as Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook".
The sandbox is apparently the work of a quack team of Googlers who have been beavering away in secret. Apparently the new infrastructure sits "under the hood" of Google's search engine, which we think means that most users won't notice a difference in search results.
According to Google it is really web developers and "power searchers" who might notice a few differences.
So, lets see, a new search engine that you claim is faster and better but no one will notice the difference? Yup, that will have Microsoft quaking with fear.
Could this be a case of Emperior's new clothes? Looks the same, does the same things, and Google says we will not notice the difference. I would not go out into the street wearing that.
But go ahead, play with it and let Google know what you think. µ

Why is exchange expert so bad?
Why would you want to block it from your results?
Have you ever tried scrolling down to the bottom for answers to the question at the top?
I find lots of solutions to problems on expert exchange...
Volt will do 42.40 per 100 miles, plus another $2.50 for tricity plus thats only for first 40 miles, then price goes WAY UP. here from tom:
Lutz wrote, "If you haven’t heard, 230 is the estimated city fuel economy number for the Chevrolet Volt, as in 230 miles per gallon, according to new federal fuel economy procedures under development by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for plug-in electric vehicles. And we anticipate a composite fuel economy rating of more than 100 mpg. The Volt’s estimated electricity usage is about 25 kilowatts per 100 miles, about half of what a typical household uses daily."
Of course, that number of 230 MPG is only true if one drives exactly 50 miles on a full charge, as the first 40 miles require no fuel thanks to the battery pack. The further one drives (and thus requiring the power from the gasoline engine), the more the MPG rating drops.
So FUEL & Cost & then Battery Cost, AS NO Battery Gonads Takes That Much punishment. EXPECT SOME REAL COMPLAINTS or more likely Ghost auto, Never Maing it to showroom floor. It IS 4 Door.

I stopped long ago searching for product name + review. Now I search for product name + "any good" (including quotation marks). Then I read the reviews made by users in various forums. A lot better than the spam coming from so called "review sites".
to see what changed in caffeine, try comparegoogle.com
This has been helpful in finding difference in search results for the two algorithms. Just put in some keywords and see what changed. Could be helpful for SEO engineers.
Lately, every time I Google using keyword "review" of a particular product I instead receive mostly misleading links to vendors. Obviously, this deceitful practice originates from the vendors themselves trying to get more hits, but Google does nothing to filter this misdirection. I feel sure the "new toy" won't address this growing problem.
The sooner I can get rid of expert exchange from the result list the better...
Gotta say I don't notive a difference when searching - but then only tried a couple of trials...
If they just implement ONE feature -- the ability to permanently block ALL results from certain domains -- I will bother with it. I want ALL results from sites like Experts Exchange completely removed.
Otherwise this is just as lame and useless as the "features" that supposedly differentiate one internet browser from the other. HO HUM.
No idea what they have to do with each other, other than you can find everything through a search engine (almost).

Intresting to note that so many terms are interchangeable with faster computing search engine. In England there are 90+ MPG automobiles that run on gas(Petrol). Today Parntership company general motors, announced new volt specs:

Its fourty grand & looks neat, cost of operation is about two fiffie paer 100 miles. Including 'lectricity. Driving at night or with A/c Wasn't mentioned.
Old Song: Ole gray Mule ain't what sheeish used to bee, many long years ago. thats when people wouldn't even turn off automobile, as cost of restart could be more than new home, with such technical experts, everywhere willing to help.

"According to Google it is really web developers and "power searchers" who might notice a few differences."
I flicked through 5 pages of results and it told me I was bot. Maybe 5 pages in a row is way over the threshold of "power searchers".
Go to preferences and you can have 50 sites/databases return their information immediately in the search.
Awesome.
Interesting response to Wolfram Alpha (minus the computation engine)
... as stated by Google you shouldn't notice many changes, all I see is better performance (possibly due to a less loaded cluster) and results that are nearer real-time. All Google want to see is whether the new changes have gimped any functionality before they roll it out.
Similar (or same) search results, I'll give you that, but the autocomplete feature while inputting search terms seems faster and more accurate.
