Despite all of the hype surrounding social media, search is still the backbone of the internet. Without it, you’d be hard pressed to find all of the information that’s out there. The giants of search know this, of course, and they continue to work on ways to make your searches easier and faster -- and to muscle out the competition in the process. Here are just a few of the latest search technologies that are available -- or soon to be available -- that will help you power your way through the web.
** Google’s tricks Google recently unveiled a basket of new technologies designed to hasten your way to the information you seek online. A new feature called “instant page” guesses which internet site you’re looking for by analyzing the words you type into the search box and “pre-fetching,” or caching, the site. When it works, the result is astonishing: click on the search result and, if Google has guessed correctly, the page will appear in an instant -- no slow loading due to heavy graphics or complicated page layout.
This feature will be a boon not only to those still struggling with slow internet connections but also to those with the fastest connections available. That’s because the loading of today’s internet pages is often hampered by slow source servers or, more frequently, by pages that are weighed down with dozens of images and ads. The good news about instant page is that you don’t need to be logged in to your Google account to use it. It no doubt leverages a technology already in existence: Google’s now familiar instant results feature that shows you sites for which you’re likely searching as you type into the search box.
