Google new BigDaddy data center upgrade and lots of changes. The article doesn't say when this will formally rollout, but soon I think. The new BigDaddy data center contains new code for examining and sorting the Web, and once it has been tested fully, will become the default source for Web results, according to Yahoo!’s chief search engineer Matt Cutts. In a January 6 post on his blog, Cutts said that might happen in early February or March of this year. But what is BigDaddy intended to do? According to Rob Sullivan, head organic search strategist at search marketing firm Enquiro, “If an algorithm update is like putting new tires on a car or installing a new stereo system, this BigDaddy is like putting in a whole new motor. They’re totally revamping how Google works and resolving some long-standing issues with getting sites indexed properly.” “This will lay the groundwork for more advanced algorithms, larger databases, and being able to index different types of content more effectively,” he says. For example, Google has also begun using a search crawler built on a Mozilla browser. The new search bot is more flexible, seems faster and can read non-text content more readily; that should mean that in time, it will be able to read links within images and even within Flash video, matter that gets ignored by bots that can’t speak Javascript. directmag.com
