I find this very strange...
But who knows, strange things can happen with google...

I updated my website entirely with new sets of page titles and descriptions couple of weeks ago.

On 9/26/03, I noticed that google re-indexed my home page.
The search result showed the new page title, etc. (The new page was in the Cache also).

On 10/1/03, my page title changed back to the old page title and the old page was in the Cache...

How could this be?
Anyone with clue?

Google run multiple databases, and have many servers. So one day you might see the latest results; another you might see older results.

Also, the age of listings and cache pages are less stable than before the 'fresh' results started. The Google results are slightly predictable, but overall far more up to date.
