Google announced today that it has been working on a faster search engine that will improve results for web developers and power searchers.

Dubbed Caffeine, the new project focuses on next-generation infrastructure and seeks to improve performance in a host of areas including size, indexing speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness. Could this also be seen as a step towards improving access to the Deep Web?

For now though, developers are being asked to go and check out the http://www2.sandbox.google.com/ and try a few searches with it. Then, compare those results with those found on the current Google site.

If a "Dissatisfied? Help us improve." link displays, click on it and type your feedback in the text box along with the word caffeine.

Since it's still a work in progress, Google engineers will be monitoring all feedback.
