Not at all, I'll still call out fantastic claims when I see them though.
- karpierz 4y agoGoogle has definitely indexed over a trillion pages.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoDo you have any sources for this claim? As far as I am aware Google doesn't publish any statistics about the size of its index, which no doubt varies.

- marginalia_nu 4y agoWell what do you know, they contradict the claim made above.
- karpierz 4y agoSorry, they've crawled trillions of pages, and narrowed it down to an index of 100s of billions. Conveniently, the link answers your question of "can you have PB sized indices?" to which we can clearly say, yes.
