As someone related to a mortgage underwriter I can tell you that they aren't doing Google searches on you[1]. They have all the documents they need to make a judgement call, if they don't they'll kick it back to you with a list of clarifications. [1] This rule only applies to Fannie Freddie and the SBA which do the majority of mortgages. If you go through a private bank the rules are off.
