Google Instant, behind the scenes

So, let's just turn off caching and triple or quadruple the size of the Google cluster, eh? No big deal. I completely fail to see how you think that disproves my point.

I should probably mention that I work in search quality at Google. The part I took issue with is "Google can take a couple of seconds if you throw a truly novel query at it." which is definitely not true.

Google can't cache nearly as much as you would expect, not because the queries change, but because the results change.
