Who can find the biggest website using Google’s site operator? I’m starting off with 5,940,000 for site:myspace.com.

site:cnet.com gets 10,400,000
site:livejournal.com gets 16,200,000
site:com.com gets 13,700,000
site:geocities.com gets 13,900,000
site:google.com gets 42,300,000
site:yahoo.com gets 91,400,000
site:wikipedia.org gets 154,000,000

site:.com gets 7,680,000,000 but I guess that's cheating?

I would have expected more from 'site:www.archive.org'... I suppose they've prevented the 'bots.

But what's more interesting is that Google shows "Results 1 – 2 of about 2,070,000". Bit of a discrepancy there...

(site:archive.org isn't a lot better, either.)

Some other sites of note:

bbc.co.uk 113,000,000 (or 43,700,000 if you restrict it to www.bbc.co.uk)
ebay.com 20,500,000
microsoft.com 35,700,000

and a special mention for

flickr.com 16,800,000, but reduced to just 1 after duplicates are removed!

Three BILLION, Seven hundred forty million pages which Google China censored.

And that's just the "dot coms"

Google.com <html> (to get all html pages) 8,490,000,000

Google.cn <html> (to get all html pages) 4,420,000,000

Thus Four BILLION, seventy million pages which the cowards in Beijing are too terrified to let their citizens see.

I'm stunned.

"Support Freedom!", by your logic, non-BigDaddy servers are censoring 16 billion pages (25 billion versus 9 billion).

One of the BigDaddy servers is giving 469,000,000 for site:ebay.com:

http://66.249.93.104/search?q=site%3Aebay.com

That's much bigger than some of the other servers are returning (i.e. 12,900,000).

how accurate are the results ?? I am finding that the results are varying... why is this ?? does this mean the the distrubted DC are funneling 'stale' information out and not in sync with one another in near real time ??

Corsin Camichel [PersonRank 10]

You know you only can access max. 1000 search results? So you never can check if there are really that much sites ;)

Niraj Sanghvi [PersonRank 10]

18 years ago #

/pd: I remember reading somewhere that the datacenters are always at a different point of indexing, so they always return slightly different results. I would guess there still has to be some level of synchronization so the results aren't wildly different, and so google doesn't crawl the web X 8 (or however many datacenters they use).

/pd [PersonRank 10]

18 years ago #

Niraj: I agree that the indexing at the cache level will always be different. But difference in the 100-200Million pg(s)? is askew. After all I don't think that so0 many pages are created and cached within a 24 hr cycle..or even a 48 hr cycle

or maybe my thought process is flawed and I my brain needs rewiring :)-

Good grief, who maintains all of these pages?!?

SamD [PersonRank 1]

Does personalised results have an effect on the number?

Or do they just effect the ordering of the same content?

(also: people can remove results now using the link provided, although I don't really know why anyone would do this).

Jürgen [PersonRank 1]

18 years ago #

I don't think this results are really showing the number of pages (and finally it's called "results" and not "pages"). When I search for all results on my own website I get 86,600 results and that is way to much. I never ever have more than 80T pages of my website!

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aplasser.net

But there is many dynamic content, maybe this will lead to such a big number?
