Google's index nearly doubles.
Sorry I didn't post this big news sooner. This is huge news in the world of search. Google claims it can now contains "...dozens of file types from HTML to PDF, including PowerPoint, Flash, PostScript and JavaScript." So I put it to the test. Anyone who knows me well knows of my love for Flash cartoons, so I Googled my favorite, Homestar Runner. A normal search revealed no new entries in the top ten for my favorite toon, but searching "site:http://www.homestarrunner.com" revealed something exciting. Lots of partially indexed pages all marked [FLASH]. I did some more searches and results were consistent. This is exciting but disappointing all at the same time. It's great that Google can at least see Flash pages and .swf files, but it isn't ranking them well. Hopefully, the Big G will improve this.
