The service search of Google or Google Search started using a new feature: It's called Service Worker and it caches repeated searches to load results twice as fast.
The announcement new feature this week was made by Dion Almaer, Google's director of engineering, and Ben Galbraith, senior Google product manager at Pluralsight Live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Galbraith and Dion spent most of their time talking about modern technologies and web tools such as AMP, Service Worker and WebAssembly. Some of these are already known, but the Google Search Service Worker, an API for running scripts in the background of the browser, was new.
"Η αποστολή του Google Search είναι να σας δώσει σχετικά αποτελέσματα το συντομότερο δυνατόν", ανέφερε ο Almaer στη σκηνή. "Έτσι επενδύσαμε στην ανάπτυξη του Service Worker που θα σας δίνει τα αποτελέσματα δύο φορές πιο γρήγορα".
Initially Service Worker is only used in Chrome for Android, especially from version 62 and up (we're already on Chrome version 68). So only Chrome for Android users can see a difference in performance.
Although the others programs browser add the required features, the Google Search team will extend the use of the Service Worker.
