Google Hints about Trillion Pages in its Cache
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
A day after Cuill released its Search Engine to the Public with 126 billion pages in cache, Google's Search Engineers / Scientists have quietly posted a blog saying that they map more than a Trillion URLs filtering out all the duplicates leave them with Trillion unique ones.
Cuill sure addresses the problem of fast crawling and Indexing but they are worse than Microsoft in presenting relevant information. Also Google now has the World's largest super computing system beating IBM, Pentagon, NASA and other US defense related projects. The Web is adding approximately few hundred million unique pages every day. Kindly note that the way we Produce and Consume Media in the next 10 years will be entirely different and traditional means will be History.
Google is now massively focusing on the World's largest Internet Market - China to Index and Serve localized content. Anyone else other than Cuill to challenge the mighty Google ?

Monday, July 28, 2008
Box Office Flops don't matter much in the world of Web 2.0. They always have a chance to make a come back as we are either in Spiral or Waterfall Model of Development cycles. Two Former Googlers, who worked in the core search engine operation, really especially crawling and indexing have went live with their own search engine "Cuil"Our first had experience with Cuil was not really good and so is the opinion of thousands of engineers and beta testers across the world. Quick bugs we found in the first 60 seconds of testing are,
- The info / management page loads intermittently [yes sure, the site lack good content distribution network] Terribly slow to access here in India
- ajax based auto completion of search terms. search results were really bad [ A search for Wimax Bangalore didn't yield this page] Cuil for now is excluding crawling blogs and web 2.0 properties embraced by Google
- the engine failed to return pronunciation of its own name "Cuil"
- search result page layout can be set to have results displayed in two or three columns with an image on the side

Search Indian Music on Guruji.Com
Thursday, July 17, 2008
Your quest for those Old Kishore Kumar/ Lata Songs OR the re-mix by Bombay Vikings comes to an end with Guruji's Music Search. Bangalore based Indian Search Engine Company, Guruji.com has launched Music Search.What Guruji's crawler essentially does is it crawls all the music sites and caches everything but the actual music file. When a user searches for some music say "Pehli Nazar Mein" Guruji serves results listing the name of the Movie from which the song belongs to, Lyricist, Singers etc. The song will be played in a new small window.
Media companies have turned their eyes red that Guruji maybe violating Media Rights, however they are merely Caching Info, Indexing, Retrieving and Pointing the user to the right place without actually hosting the songs. Media companies' argument may not stand if the case goes to trial.
