I don't know what your two reasons are, but what I know, Google employs [1] several 'spiders' / 'robots' sniffing out all and every webpages and indexing contents. These results are collected and send over to the various Google Data Centres. Depending on your timing and _where_ your query is handled by what machine in what Google data centre, you may or may not get the same / latest results. Oh, well ... ;-) PS: I can't remember where I see that explanation [2], but I will search for it later... Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - much like a super chess playing machine, each CPU gets a certain workload and they cascade their workload to yet another idle CPUs.
