Good point. So there is definitely a social utility in search over text which google does have, for the trove it scanned, hands and cats-pawprints and all.

I’m pretty sure Google indexing pages from Anna’s archive would only get metadata, because AA doesn’t have the full text of the books on those pages. I think to get the full text you have to download the torrents, and I don’t think Google was doing that.

No, thats more meta's trick. and they were "only doing it for the articles" not the pictures. I think. I dunno..

They were doing it for the videos too, but only for "personal use"...
