Google just lately mentioned it made Search “a lot quicker,” not less than that’s what Rajan Patel, the VP of Engineering at Google Search mentioned on X. There’s a bigger weblog submit that Google wrote up on this, which I initially determined to not cowl however I modified my thoughts.
Rajan wrote, “We just lately made Search a lot quicker. Because of this, we’re saving customers a collective 1 million hours each single day – which implies 100+ hrs saved within the time you took to learn this tweet.”

The weblog submit says, “Collectively, over the previous two years, these latency enhancements have saved customers over 1 million hours each single day.”
In order that line threw me off, I imply, simply in February, Google advised us they made Search quicker by 67 milliseconds – now that may be a quantity. However when Google mentioned “over the previous two years” – that isn’t “just lately” as Rajan put it above in his tweet.
In 2014, Google mentioned they sped up cell search 100-150 milliseconds and earlier than that in 2013 by 200-400 milliseconds.
I did ask Google for extra numbers on this once they despatched me their press launch, however I didn’t get something again.
So Google Search is far quicker over the previous two years and that’s current.
Discussion board dialogue at X.
