- marginalia_nu 3y agoWell what do you know, they contradict the claim made above.
- karpierz 3y 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.
