Maybe Winston Smith’s thought-a-day pad turned up "Don’t be Evil." Doomer V sends that this sensitive story [1] has been Google-search embargoed. Well, news-search comes up empty, and general search hits but the single intrepid commenter SoupDogs on a WSJ board. (Your mileage may vary, those are the results as of Sunday afternoon, Phoenix time.) Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s own search engine works just fine.
To be fair, it’s not just Google. We get similar results for MSN news & web, Yahoo news & web, and AOL news & web.
Doom noticed a similar thing happening a while ago with the regular Thursday Reuters summaries of foreign central bank net purchases / sales of US debt obligation. Just when that series started getting really interesting, the summaries just sort of disappeared. But then it turned out we could find them after all with the Reuters internal search, it was just the Google news search that was failing. Last week, searches like |"agency debt"| started picking up the Thursday summary on Google news again, though. Curious.
