One of the most useful internal tools at Google: Code Search "Sometimes I would not even look through my own IDE, I would just type 'cs /xyz...' " From Irina Stanescu who worked at Google for 5 years. Fascinating how Google's internal code search is also as good as... show more

📍A local SEO trick every pro should know: Use the UULE parameter to set a precise location for your search results. Adding a UULE parameter to your Google search query lets you see search results from a specific region without needing an extension or being physically there. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Generate a UULE for the location (Find a tool by googling “uule generator”) You will get a code that looks like this: &uule=w+CAIQICIQRWRtb250b24sIENhbmFkYQ 2️⃣ Now run any search in Google. 3️⃣ Look at the URL for your search and replace the last part of it with the UULE parameter. For example: google . com/search?q=sushi+restaurant &uule=w+CAIQICIQRWRtb250b24sIENhbmFkYQ How do you set your search location? #seo #localseo

✨ Today I rebuilt 🏔️ AltaVista Search, the main search engine before Google existed The problem: if you press the 🔍Search button in MSIE4 it'll open a sidebar with AltaVista in it that opens: http:// home . microsoft . com/search/search.asp But that URL doesn't resolve anymore of course, so how do I make this work? I asked Claude Code and built a Dnsmasq DNS server that routes all regular DNS queries to Cloudflare but for home . microsoft . com it hijacks it and sends it to my own server Then I let Nginx respond to that doamin and show the Altavista Search sidebar, I had to rebuild the design from a video on YouTube because I couldn't find any actual archeological remains of it anymore Also Altavista Search of course doesn't exist anymore so it can't respond to queries either so I use a SERP API to query search results from Google and display them instead This is stuff I wouldn't even be close to doing before AI, I'd have no idea how to configure Dnsmasq to spoof queries like this The search engine results are proxied via my HTTP proxy so MSIE4 can open most sites (because old browsers don't support HTTPS and most JS!)

I sat down with Robby Stein (Robby Stein), Google’s VP of Product for Search, at Google I/O. Robby is one of the most interesting product leaders in tech: he helped build Instagram Stories, Reels and Close Friends, and now leads core Google Search products including AI Overviews, AI Mode, Lens and ranking. We talked about one of the biggest shifts in the history of the web: Google Search becoming AI-native. Topics we covered: • AI Mode and whether it is an evolution of Search or a reinvention of it • how Google breaks complex questions into multiple searches behind the scenes • why AI search is much more expensive to run than traditional search • whether Google’s TPUs and infrastructure give it an advantage no one else can match • why Search volume is growing instead of being cannibalized by AI • the tension between great AI answers and traffic for publishers • how Google decides which sources and links to show • what a better internet could look like if AI Search works as intended The big question behind the whole conversation: If Google gives you the answer directly, what happens to the link-based web? A small caveat: sadly the microphones didnt work properly. Therefore the audio quality in this episode isn't perfect due to a recording issue - we appreciate your understanding.

Google has a Gemini Problem, and Chamath has a plan to fix it 📈 On E225, the besties discussed how Google can cut ChatGPT's lead over Gemini without killing its $200B/year search ads business. David Sacks: "I think the problem that Google has with respect to ChatGPT, is Gemini is not getting the usage, and ChatGPT is just growing like crazy." "If you look at how these models perform according to the benchmarks, Gemini is actually really good, but they have not caught up on the usage side." david friedberg: "Chamath, you're the CEO of Google, you've got a $200B run rate search ad business." "What's the right integration of Gemini such that you don't massively disrupt the search ad business overnight?" "Or do you not care and you're just gonna do it? I think that's the conundrum (Google) is dealing with." Chamath Palihapitiya: " The more difficult question is, what does the integration look like?" "They're already inserting Gemini in all kinds of uncomfortable ways." "So for example, if you use Gmail, or if you use Google Workspace, what happens today is all these random Gemini pop-ups come up all over the place." "That is an implementation that happened at way too junior a level by people that have no product taste." "And if you use the products every day, it would be hard for you to disagree with me." David Sacks: " The Google homepage, would you replace that with an AI chatbot?" Chamath Palihapitiya: " No. Here's what I would do: I would first go to the critical other points that are around, that today do not cannibalize the blue links." "If you look at the traffic patterns, almost as a Sankey diagram, the real thing you should be looking at here is where are the entry points into Google that then result in a clickable link." "And what it would show you is that there are certain places that are highly de-optimized today for revenue generating events." "They happen as a byproduct, but they don't happen as the use case." "So in that example, you would put Gmail as a critical place, the Google one subscription, and there's like five or six other places." "That's where I would put Gemini as the front door and start to habituate 300 to 500 million people a week in using that." "I think then you can figure out over time how much money you can make from all of that, or how it directs derivative revenue, and figure out what to do with Google dot com last." "But my point is, the experience in Gmail should be done today." "The experience in YouTube should be done today." "The experience in Google one should be done today."

Michael Easter, a retired FBI special agent questions why the MSP did not subpoena Google in the murder case of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe. A Google subpoena could have definitively resolved the 2.27 a.m. search issue. If Jennifer McCabe did not make the search, Google’s server logs would have been the strongest proof. Instead, they chose to rely on debated and confusing internal forensics. Jessica Hyde reported in May 2023 that the search existed and was deleted, then later issued a Cellebrite-only report after Ian Whiffin’s software updates removed the timestamp, even though other programs still showed the 2.27 a.m. search, as per Greene, Karen Read’s forensic expert, a point Whiffin agreed with. Subpoenaing Google would have put the facts with a neutral third party, so it was avoided. That absence speaks volumes. This was not incompetence. It was corruption.

someone just made a tool that indexes code by meaning, not string matching this project is the first time i have seen someone treat code like a knowledge graph. sometimes i feel they are the only ones actually pushing cs most rag pipelines for agents are embarrassing and we should be chunking by semantic scope, imagine your agent's accuracy if this was used instead of simple grep google spent millions on kythe to index code and devs just did it better as a weekend hobby project. never bet against a functional programmer with a strict type system.

WARP SPEED: EPISODE 5 - starring Varunram Ganesh, Founder of Lapis Varunram Ganesh The next generation of 20 year olds are going to default to LLMs for search. Varun is building Lapis into the most accurate AI search analytics platform. They are part of Y Combinator F25 - 1 day away from demo day with a countdown clock on his desk. The insight: people are already defaulting to ChatGPT over Google. As time goes on, more leveraged decisions get made through LLMs, not search engines. "So many people are searching on Google, they're going to be searching on ChatGPT. Why aren't people knowing where they are on ChatGPT?" Lapis tells you exactly what a human will search for your website to show up in AI. And unlike Google, it's not about ranking positions - LLMs reason differently. On Warp: "I don't even think about payroll. Which is just to say Warp is such a good product that I just don't think about it. No spam emails. No upsells. It's just so smooth." In this conversation: (0:00) - Shift from Google-style search to LLMs: “More leveraged decisions are now made through the LLM.” (0:15) - What Lapis does: the most accurate AI search analytics platform. (1:15) - YC intensity: six weeks from Demo Day, rapid feedback loops, constant customer conversations. (2:00) - “The hardest part of running a startup is the most boring stuff.” (2:41) - How AI search differs from Google search. (3:23) - Building a company through trust. (3:51) - “Every founder said, ‘Check out Gabriella Warp - a genuinely friendly solution. (4:02) - Big providers needed six weeks just to get set up. (4:20) - Texted Ayush and got set up in 15 minutes. (4:25) - Warp is so smooth you don’t think about payroll — no spam emails, no upsells, just seamless.

Tully & Ohara SERT SEARCH: “Start of search” We know that the SERT team waited for Brian Tully to arrive at 34 Fairview so he could show them WHERE to search and WHAT they would be searching for. Today- Ohara claimed he started the search at 5:25 PM. That was not only a change in testimony from the last trial, but it also completely contradicts Brian Tully from the last trial. Trial 1- Brian Tully claimed he didn’t arrive to Fairview until 5:30 PM. He also claims there was only 2 officers from SERT present at that time. (Video) So how is it that Ohara now all of a sudden began the search before Brian Tully even arrived ?

Google is making $62 billion a quarter destroying the websites it NEEDS to survive. This is literally a death spiral that ends with Google killing itself. Let me explain what's going on... Google added AI summaries to the top of every search result in 2024. When you Google something now, the answer sits right there on Google's page. You never have to click anywhere. Google took the information from someone else's website, summarized it, and kept you inside Google's ecosystem. The result: 60% of all Google searches now end without a single click to any website. Small publishers lost 60% of their traffic in one year. Medium publishers lost 47%. Even the biggest names in media, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Business Insider, all saw traffic fall between 22% and 55%. The Axios CEO called it "a referral extinction event for the ad-supported web." Google's response to all of this was to tell publishers they can "opt out" of having their content summarized. But opting out also REMOVES your description from normal search results. So the choice Google gives you is let us steal your content for free, or become invisible on the internet. That's extortion. The Washington Post laid off another round of journalists this year because of it. Stereogum, one of the most respected music publications on the internet, had to BEG readers for donations. Business Insider cut 21% of its staff. Dozens of smaller publishers have shut down entirely. The people who actually CREATE the information Google summarizes are going bankrupt while Google posts record revenue. But here's where this gets interesting and where everyone stops thinking: Google's AI summaries are only as good as the content they summarize. If the publishers who write the original articles, run the original investigations, and create the original data go out of business, there is nothing left for Google to summarize. The AI starts recycling old information, the answers get stale, the quality drops, and users start noticing that Google's summaries are increasingly wrong, outdated, or useless. Google is essentially strip-mining the internet for short-term revenue. They are extracting all the value from content creators without paying for it, driving those creators out of business, and then wondering why the quality of their own product is declining. This is exactly what Napster did to the music industry in the early 2000s: Made content free, creators went broke, and quality collapsed. It took a decade to rebuild. Google is doing the same thing to the entire internet at 100x the scale. Rolling Stone, Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, and Billboard are now suing Google for antitrust violations. Chegg, the education platform, lost 49% of its traffic and is suing too. The UK's competition authority just ordered Google to let publishers opt out without being punished. The DOJ already ruled Google is an illegal monopoly. And Google's defense in court is genuinely unbelievable. They argue that publishers CHOOSE to let Google index their content and can leave anytime they want. That's like saying you choose to pay protection money to the mob because technically you could close your business and move to another city. Google controls 90% of search. Leaving Google means leaving the internet. Meanwhile Google is investing billions in custom AI chips to make these summaries cheaper at scale. Every quarter the problem gets worse. The internet as we've known it for 25 years ran on a simple deal: Publishers make content. Google sends traffic. Advertisers pay for the traffic. Everyone wins. But Google just BROKE that deal and kept all the money.

I'm going through the Google News Initiative (Google News Initiative) and today's session was about ad revenue. Took a few minutes to offer some thoughts on how Google's HCU was hurting small publishers, and express concerns over their decision to block links to California publishers. We were told at the beginning of the session that it was being recorded on Google's end, to include comments made in the chatroom. Some of the issues I address: 1.) Google's HCU (Helpful Content Updates) are prioritizing SPAM-written content over original, authoritative pieces, contrary to Google's assertion that it rewards helpful, original content with rank. 2.) Google's Google SearchLiaison has heard complaints from me and other publishers for months, and has offered an unsatisfactory "we'll pass it along." 3.) Google appears aware of the issues, but hasn't addressed or fixed them. 4.) Google is further penalizing California publishers by deliberately not linking to news content out of protest of pending state legislation that specifically addresses Google's outsized control over the Internet and attempts (albeit through flawed reasoning) to level the playing field. 5.) While there was a part in today's session about "recapturing" revenue, no one addressed how publishers can navigate the ever-changing Google Search algorithms and other times when Google decides on a whim to move the goal posts to the detriment of good, original content publishers. I had a direct pipeline to Google today, and felt I had to speak up on behalf of other small and niche publishers who have been just as impacted and who feel they have no voice.

I'm going through the Google News Initiative (Google News Initiative) and today's session was about ad revenue.

J-Cal Explains Why Google is UNDERRATED in AI 👀 On E227, the besties discussed Google's value in a post-search world if AI replaces traditional search. @jason broke down why he thinks Google is being slept on: "I think there's a chance that we're underestimating the power of Google's ad network right now." "They have four or five products that are one or two billion users per month. You have YouTube, Google Docs, Android." "They have such a data advantage and such a deep integration into people's lives because they use three or four services, I think Google's gonna figure this out." "It's quite possible that knowing your queries in Gemini, knowing what you're doing in Calendar, knowing what you're watching on YouTube could lead to a stream of more targeted ads that do better and are more valuable." "We've been seeing a number of startups that are figuring out how to use your queries and what you're doing in AI to present to you search results." "So imagine you're doing a Gemini search and on the side of it, it's giving you a rolling list of ads or offers that you might be more interested in." "That could be a better advertising product than even search itself." "I think YouTube search is the place to go all-in." "Right now, when you do a YouTube search, it just gives you 10 links, right? It just gives you that rolling thing." "You should be able to ask a question to YouTube, and you should be able to ask questions to your calendar." "You should be able to say, who have I met with over the last 10 years? Who I'm no longer in touch with and what are they up to?" "And it should do a Gemini search inside of Google Calendar. It's very light right now." "And then if you did that on YouTube, this would train people at the point of pain in a very deep way without sacrificing Google Search queries too aggressively."

2001. Larry Page and Sergey Brin sit for their first-ever television interview. Google has 200 employees. They explain that the company almost didn't get off the ground because they couldn't cash a check. The check was for $100,000. It came from Andy Bechtolsheim, one of the co-founders of Sun Microsystems. Page and Brin showed him what they'd built. He said, "This is great, how about I write you a check?" and just wrote it out. Made it out to Google. The problem was that Google didn't exist as a company yet. There was no bank account. No lawyers. No incorporation paperwork. The check sat in Larry Page's desk drawer for a month. They literally could not deposit it. They're both in their late twenties in this interview. They met at Stanford as PhD students and, by their own account, disliked each other from the start. Brin says Page is "kind of obnoxious." Page doesn't disagree. Brin says they argued about everything, debated every single point, and then realized that was their commonality. They became friends, started building a search engine they never planned to build, and put their PhDs on hold to get it out into the world. The part that stings watching this in 2026 is the rejection tour. Before starting Google, they approached existing search companies to sell or license the technology. They went to Yahoo. David Filo, one of Yahoo's founders, told them, "This is great search technology. Why don't you guys make a company, and maybe we'll use you someday?" They went to Excite. They went to InfoSeek. Same response. Page says a CEO at one of those companies told them: "If our search is 85% as good as the next guy's, that's good enough for us." Page and Brin didn't buy that. They thought the search was too important to be 85% as good. So they started Google. No marketing. No ad campaign. They launched it at Stanford, and it grew 20% per month, every single month, for three years straight. Pure word of mouth. By the time of this interview, they're handling over 100 million searches a day. They get 500 resumes in the mail every single day. The office space around them is 30% vacant because the dot-com bubble just popped, but Google is profitable. Page makes a point of this: "We've been really interested in being profitable, like long before it was fashionable." They'd also just hired Eric Schmidt, former CTO of Sun, as CEO. Brin's explanation for why: "Parental supervision, to be honest." Page adds that they're "past the age where we're rebellious" and that running a search engine used by 100 million people a day with 200 employees is "a large responsibility." The number that caught my eye: when Google started in 1998, it indexed 30 million web pages. At the time of this interview, three years later, they indexed 1.3 billion. The page says that if you printed them all out and stacked the paper, it would be about 70 miles high. And it was doubling every year. Every search company they approached turned them down. Yahoo eventually came back and hired Google to power its own search results. The CEO who thought 85% was good enough ran a company that no longer exists. Alphabet, Google's parent company, is worth about $3.6 trillion today. It has about 190,000 employees. That $100,000 check sat in a desk drawer because nobody had incorporated the company. Bechtolsheim's stake from that investment is now worth billions.

Most marketers are optimizing for a version of Google that no longer exists. Google isn't organizing web pages anymore. It's built a database of 54 billion real-world entities, and if your brand isn't clearly defined inside that system, you're invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI overviews no matter how good your content is. In this video I break down exactly how entity-based search works, why schema markup changed everything, and what my team consistently does to get clients cited in AI results even as organic traffic declines.

Try out Gemini Code: a coding assistant in your terminal powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro. 💜 💜 Release Notes: → It's easy to get started, just run `pip install gemini-code` in a virtual environment, and then run `gemini` to initialize it. It requires your own API key, so don't forget to get one from → I built this because I love Claude Code and wanted a similar experience -- I like that I can just use my own API key and Gemini is generally way cheaper as well. → Found a bug? Feel free to fork the code and fix it (lol)! If you want to try to improve it, please do so - repo is public! → Reminder and a disclaimer that I don't work at Google and this is not an official Google project - just a weekend side hack → It is highly likely you'll get throttled by rate limits - I put as much info as I can in the guide so you know what behavior to expect when that happens. You can also set which default model to use if you want to switch to 1.5 Pro.
