Google announced that it will launch a new feature to help business that use its Site Search service to instantly incorporate and update new web pages, according to Reuters.

Website owners will now be able to add new web pages immediately so that the most recent information shows up when searching.

Previously, the Google system would crawl and index client's websites automatically, however it did not necessarily mean that it was always up to date. Now, with the new feature, the website owner will have control of indexing pages, thus assuring they are up to date.

Google has also launched a software suite similar to Microstof Office, called Google Apps. The recent changes are part of Google's effort to expand search services for small and medium sized businesses and well as large enterprises, according to Reuters.
