Google search is more than just indexing the content of all web pages though. It's also getting people to the result they're searching for which is significantly more complex.
That said, it's still a feature which is why Google makes it's money off of advertising instead. That's the real Google product in relation to their search feature.
- threeseed 9y agoGoogle Search is not a feature. It's a product. They have product owners, product managers, product roadmaps etc and it's fundamental to what Google is as a company. They themselves call it a product: https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/products/ https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/products/ And we can play this game all day if you like. By your ridiculous logic: Spotify, Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon, Youtube are all just features.
- blktiger 9y agoSure, there's a complexity scale where we arbitrarily consider something a "product" instead of a "feature". In fact the scale can slide as technology improves. Something that was previously complicated enough to consider a product may now be trivial enough to become a feature.
