One of Google Search’s oldest and best-known features, cache links, are being retired. Best known by the “Cached” button, those are a snapshot of a web page the last time Google indexed it. However, according to Google, they’re no longer required.

“It was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn’t depend on a page loading,” Google’s Danny Sullivan wrote. “These days, things have greatly improved. So, it was decided to retire it.”

    The next revolutionary search engine will be an AI that understands you. Like what a librarian is… Not just ads served.

        Well, at the least, you need something to filter out the shit trying to game seo. To me it seems that AI is the easiest approach.
