Google Changes Search Algorithm

The Search Engine Giant "Google " Has Tweaked its Search Algorithm to make Results more in Real Time!
Google,An Another Synonym For Search in these Days, To Find information On Anything.Google Replaced the Traditional Searching with its Efficient Search Algorithms. 


On Thursday,This California Based Company revised its Search Algorithm to give Results more Timelier. Its one of The Biggest Changes Build on Caffeine web indexing system that Google announced last year. Caffeine allows users to find newer, more relevant information by making it so that recently published posts surface much faster in search. 
According To Google,This new Tweak Could Affect 35% of its Searches.


New Update Is more Likely made In view of Users Searching for "recent Happened ,Happening Things" Like Live Matches,Latest News. For Example If You Search About the Score of A Foot ball Game ,You Probably hit Back with the Results Related to Scoring Or Something.This Misguides The user and its not what the User is looking for. But What Really a User Wants is Something Recent,Real time News. 


An Increasing Trend Has Been Observed Among Users for Seconds old News, Chatters about The Happening News,Gracefully Facebook ,Twitter and Other Social Media are Way more Fast Than Search Engines To Know The Realtime updates. Whenever i Want To Know The Score of Cricket I Wont Go And Search Google I just Go to "Cricket Fan Page " Where i Could Get Stats of the Game.That's More Likely now Among People .


Google Has Recognised This and made An Update To its Algorithm Which Integrates The Latest Facebook, Twitter Posts into its search Results.Infact, Google Tried This Similar Tweak Long Way Back in 2009, when it introduced google.com/realtime, a service that incorporated Twitter posts that Google paid Twitter to use.  But it Couldn't Last Long ,As The Both the Parties think of Renewing it.


With This Tweak of Google, Bing the main Competitor Had Alerted and also developed a way to index Web sites that change often, like blogs and news feeds, and looks into Twitter posts to identify popular topics, said Stefan Weitz, senior director at Bing.
