Here’s an excerpt from Google Blog’s announcement:

“With Caffeine, we analyze the web in small portions and update our search index on a continuous basis, globally. As we find new pages, or new information on existing pages, we can add these straight to the index. That means you can find fresher information than ever before—no matter when or where it was published.”

This should be good news for publishers who’ve wanted their content indexed faster than the way the old system worked. Still, we’re waiting to see if the new index will give lesser sites a better chance of showing up on the first few pages of search results.
