My gripe was with the article and not with what greplin is doing. Details like what you have mentioned in point 1 would have made the article much more useful rather than multiplying some random number from 1998 and expecting the readers to have a wow moment. Some idea about how they actually index the items, how they store this massive data, how the search is done to keep it fast etc. is what I would have liked to read.
