In December 2017, Google began rolling out the change, having already done so for multiple websites. The change was a response to the continued growth in mobile usage, and a push for web developers to adopt a mobile-friendly version of their websites. In October 2016, Gary Illyes, a webmaster trends analyst with Google, announced that the search engine would be making a separate, primary web index dedicated for mobile devices, with a secondary, less up-to-date index for desktop use. In 2012, Google changed its search indexing tools to demote sites that had been accused of piracy.

ĭespite Google search's immense index, sources generally assume that Google is only indexing less than 5% of the total Internet, with the rest belonging to the deep web, inaccessible through its search tools. Users can also activate " SafeSearch", a filtering technology aimed at preventing explicit and pornographic content from appearing in search results. Additionally, Google indexes some file types, being able to show users PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, certain Flash multimedia content, and plain text files. For websites that are currently down or otherwise not available, Google provides links to cached versions of the site, formed by the search engine's latest indexing of that page. Google indexes hundreds of terabytes of information from web pages.

Data about the frequency of use of search terms on Google can be openly inquired via Google Trends and have been shown to correlate with flu outbreaks and unemployment levels, and provide the information faster than traditional reporting methods and surveys. In May 2012, Google introduced a Knowledge Graph semantic search feature in the U.S.Īnalysis of the frequency of search terms may indicate economic, social and health trends. In June 2011, Google introduced " Google Voice Search" to search for spoken, rather than typed, words. It was originally developed in 1997 by Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Scott Hassan. The main purpose of Google Search is to search for text in publicly accessible documents offered by web servers, as opposed to other data, such as images or data contained in databases. Google Search also provides many different options for customized searches, using symbols to include, exclude, specify or require certain search behavior, and offers specialized interactive experiences, such as flight status and package tracking, weather forecasts, currency, unit, and time conversions, word definitions, and more. The order of search results returned by Google is based, in part, on a priority rank system called " PageRank". It is also the most-visited website in the world.

Handling over 3.5 billion searches per day, it has a 92% share of the global search engine market. It's more than clear that Apple cares far more about Message stickers or animojis or image filters than they do about stability, performance, or security.Google Search (known simply as Google), is a search engine provided by Google.

I now automatically assume that any bug report I send to Apple is just as effective as me writing it down on a napkin and throwing it in a toilet. The duplicate reports may as well not exist, either, because they will probably never get fixed. I cannot see the other reports, or their status. Many of the issues I report get closed as "duplicates" (so I know others have reported them). Devices stuck on iOS 9 will never get the fix. IOS 9 had an issue in very specific scenarios with VPN. Devices stuck on iOS 7 never got the fixes. IOS 7 had some UI/UX issues that got "fixed" with iOS 8. Devices stuck on iOS 6 would never get the fix. I had reported an issue with how iOS 6 lists purchased apps (too many purchased apps would just crash the App Store over and over).

It might get addressed in a future update. Unless you see something reported non-stop in the media, don't expect it to get fixed.įound a 100% reproducible issue in iOS or macOS?
