Title: Google searching almost 2^32 web pages.
Post by: Grok on September 08, 2004, 11:29 AM

Google - Searching 4,285,199,774 web pages. (http://www.google.com)

That is 99.6% of the way to 2^32.

Why did I waste my time figuring this out, or waste your time with this post? :p

Yes, Google isn't indexing new pages, either. They need to switch their internal data structures from 4 bytes to 5 bytes. Some anti-Google people (http://www.google-watch.org/) wrote more about this.

Silly liberals, questioning authority. They should get with the program, go with the flow, abuse of power works better that way.
