Google has announced an update coming to their search results called Caffeine.
For the last several months, a large team of Googlers has been working on a secret project: a next-generation architecture for Google's web search. It's the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions. The new infrastructure sits "under the hood" of Google's search engine, which means that most users won't notice a difference in search results. But web developers and power searchers might notice a few differences, so we're opening up a web developer preview to collect feedback.
The preview of their new search results can be can be found here:

There's a video interview about it here:

(The information about Caffeine starts at 1:15 into the video)
Are your website's rankings different in the current Google results and the new Google results?
P.S., notice that the new Caffeine search results are delivered with the hash tag ("#") in the URL that I mentioned the other day.

A little tool to help compare the results in Current Google, and Caffeine Google.

Thanks for the link.
It looks like the search results constantly change, even from one search to another. I wonder how much personalized search will effect the new results.
(e.g., Google recently rolled out a "feature" where the results change based on your most recent searches, even when you aren't logged into a Google account.)
