Caffeine back up, Bing gaining ground

'Caffeine,' Google's new search engine architecture, is back up in its test mode, for those of you eager to check it out.

After a short demo period last week, Google took Caffeine down Wednesday night for updates. It was not back up as of Friday morning.

To a regular observer, Caffeine may only show slight changes from Google's regular search results. It does, however, seem to work a good deal faster and produce several more search results than Google's current engine.

The debate is still out as to whether Microsoft's Bing will gain much ground on Google in the search engine wars. Reports show Bing did gain 3 percent market share In June, and another 1.24 percent in July. Some argue that Google's new algorithm is built with intention of keeping up with Bing, while Matt Cutts, Google's head of Webspam, has said it is not.
