GoogleGuy mentioned that SARS was a good indication that there were a lot of new pages in the updated data centers. So I just did a search for SARS on the 9 data centers. Here is the result:
559,000 in
579,000 ex
2,720,000 sj
3,040,000 fi
3,050,000 va
3,070,000 dc
3,070,000 ab
3,070,000 zu
3,070,000 cw
Thats all googledigook to me :)

SJ and FI were the first to show the new results so it's reasonably safe to say that they have older data.
However, surely more pages=less filters/more spam which might indicate older results? Strange that va has less results as it was updated after cw and dc.
'googledigook' sounds like a word that could come in very handy ;)
.. which means?
The higher the number, the more pages are indexed containing the word (or having it as anchor) SARS.
So it looks the data centers dc, ab, zu & cw have the most fresh data. But as you can read at the start of my previous message, it depends on what you call 'up to date'.
Most recent algo?
Most recent spam filter?
If you search for backward links, order of 'up to date' data centers could be different. Looking for a recent added category in the Google Directory (SARS [directory.google.com]) gives:
zu <500 error>
cw <500 error>
fi <500 error>
sj <not found>
va <not found>
dc <not found>
ex OK
ab OK
in OK
I just tried to help whatson.
I searched for todays date:
zu 3,190
cw 3,190
va 3,190
dc 3,190
ab 3,190
fi 3,180
sj 3,140
in 2,470
ex 2,440
I'm not sure what this means either :)
AFAIK in and ex have yet to be updated.
