The real-time search competition is getting hot, a lot quicker than we all thought it would.
Facebook began testing new versions of their real-time search feature with a small group of people last month, and today, the testing phase has ended.
It searches through the last 30 days of your news feed for status updates, photos, links, videos, and notes shared by your friends and the Facebook Pages you are a fan of. You will not be able to see other member information, unless they have changed their privacy settings to make their content available to everyone.
Google is also rolling out its own project for real-time search, and its called Caffeine. It could also change how your company ranks in its search results. Two web engineers from the Google’s official blog wrote,
“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.”
