The “Who indexes more billion pages” war started in August, when the team behind Yahoo Search posted on the official blog the information that it searches through 20 billion documents. To be more exact, Yahoo Search claims to index 19.2 billion web pages and 1.6 billion images, not counting the 50 million audio and video files.
At the time, Google, the only search
engine displaying the number of indexed pages, had a little over 8 billion documents.
The debated started almost instantaneously and everyone was expecting to say that they index more pages than Yahoo. But Google’s response was that it doesn’t matter the size, the relevance being more important, the “do no evil company” insinuating that the 20 billion pages don’t mean anything if the relevance is low.
To prove that the number doesn’t matter, Google, which turns 7 today, has decided to remove the counter of indexed pages. On the official blog, Anna Patterson explained Google’s new concept on index size and the computation method for it. You can find out more here.

We wanted something special for our birthday…

Posted by Anna Patterson, Software Engineer
Google opened its doors in September 1998, and we’ve been pursuing one mission ever since: to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. For our seventh birthday, we are giving you a newly expanded web search index that is 1,000 times the size of our original index.
I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished in the years since Larry Page and Sergey Brin set up the first Google data center in Larry’s dorm room at Stanford. Today, along with web search based on Larry and Sergey’s original BackRub search engine, we offer specialized search for everything from satellite images to academic papers, local business info to your own computer. We’ve also built software for email and mobile services, photo management and computer-to-computer voice calling, to name just a few things.
But search remains our heart and soul, so I’m especially pleased by this latest expansion of our index, which makes Google more than 3 times larger than any other search engine. See for yourself how effective the new Google search index can be. Come up with a search query that's special to you (your name, your elementary school, and your favorite animal, for example) - a combination of words that is likely to exist on just a few web pages out of the billions we've indexed, a few needles scattered in the Internet’s endless haystack. Ready? Let’s go.
