Google doubles search index
Searchers will now have access to a larger number of possible matches.
Google has doubled the number of Web pages it indexes from 4 billion to about 8 billion, according to a posting on the company's Web site.
The increase, announced Wednesday, means Google searchers will now have access to a much larger number of possible matches for queries.
The shift comes as Google faces increasing competition from rivals including Microsoft, which unveiled a test version of a search engine for its MSN Web portal on Thursday.
