All I can say is wow. WOW! That’s big.
Google’s Search Index Reaches One Trillion Links!
“…even our search engineers stopped in awe about just how big the web is these days…”
“Even after removing those exact duplicates, we saw a trillion unique URLs, and the number of individual web pages out there is growing by several billion pages per day.”
“Today, Google downloads the web continuously, collecting updated page information and re-processing the entire web-link graph several times per day.”
“…multiple times every day, we do the computational equivalent of fully exploring every intersection of every road in the United States. Except it’d be a map about 50,000 times as big as the U.S., with 50,000 times as many roads and intersections.”
“…quickly sort petabytes of data, just to prepare to answer the most important question: your next Google search.”
All I have to say is good job boys. Keep it up. Hold true to your mission.
“…our goal always has been to index all the world’s data.”
