A Little Pep in Google's Step

It may be just a coincidence, but shortly after Microsoft released Bing to good reviews, Google leaked news of its new search engine back end: Caffeine. Now being tested by Web developers, the new engine is supposed to be way faster and offer more real-time results as well as more Twitter and FaceBook findings.

The front end? The same, old, ultra-simple Google search box. What I didn't hear was any high-faluting technologies or radical new approaches to search. But according to tester comments, Caffeine gathers more results and is, in fact, far faster.
