Google verifies the authenticity of the stolen Search records

-
The company today confirmed that 2,500 internal documents leaked by Google containing details about the data the company collects are accurate. 




So far, Google has refused to comment on the data. The document provides an unprecedented (yet obscure) look behind the scenes of one of the most important aspects of web design. 

“The data is outdated or incomplete,” Google spokesperson Davis Thompson told The Verge in an email. - We share a lot of information about how searches work and what types of things we weigh. Earlier this week, Google announced to The Verge its management of documents and their content, including clicks, Chrome user data, etc. that are not included on Google search pages. did not respond to their objections about leaking the information. 


Thousands of pages of data serve as a database for Googlers, but it's unclear what content is used to list search content; data will be transferred or used for training or written but not used specifically for searching. The data also doesn't show how much weight different items have in the search. Google is often secretive about how its search algorithms work, but this document, along with testimony from the U.S. Department of Justice in a recent antitrust case, offers a clearer picture of the signals Google considers when ranking websites.

In response, a business has emerged hoping to break the rules or beat the algorithm, sometimes with contradictory responses. Google's vague and pithy words don't help matters, but information in internal documents at least sheds some light on the company that owns the website.
